"It's the sort of party where attendees are drinking "all kinds of syrups" in their cocktails and "everyone gets to be themselves". On "God's A Raver", over jubilant, Scissor Sisters-lite piano, Nemo - born Nemo Mettler, in Biel, Switzerland - trills: "If there's a God, we just met at the gay bar. She is a raver just like me!" Partying is again a holy practice on the whimsical, glam-pop stomper "Ride My Baby": "The universe is a club, and I'm convinced that you're God.""
""That's exactly the contrast I think that this album lives in," they continue. "I have my reality and I have my idea of the world and then this is living in the backdrop of the grander world, that is going through a f**king crazy time right now." A close friend put it best, they say: "This album is hopeful and joyful without being ignorant. I think that's how I am as a person as well.""
Arthouse places a gleeful, inclusive party at its center, with attendees drinking "all kinds of syrups" and "everyone gets to be themselves." Songs like "God's A Raver" and "Ride My Baby" elevate partying to something sacred, imagining God as a raver and the universe as a club. Moments of critique and dread puncture the revelry, as "Frog Swamp" calls the world "cruel" and the title track insists "I believe this world deserves a f**king better time." Nemo balances euphoric glam-pop and new-wave influences with conscious awareness of global turmoil. Nemo is 26, born in Biel, Switzerland, won Eurovision 2024 for Switzerland, and lives in Paris.
