Listen to our lastest single Nayade


“In the bodies of fresh water, 

female spirits lie hidden. 

Beautiful as a sky full of stars, 

ancient as the oldest tales.” 


Nayade is the first single from the debut album of Koi Forest.  In Nayade, the water spirit serves as a metaphor for a femme fatale—a woman  of irresistible allure who leaves a trail of destruction in her wake.



about

It's not by accident that the koi carp, the creature from Chinese mythology, appears in both Koi Forest's name as well as their logo. Much like the carp, which is known to swim upstream, the music of Koi Forest sonically swims against the current. Inspired by this creature, the band takes you to mythical places and unknown atmospheres in their music. With deep grooves, fairytale-like harmonies and visual stimuli, they guide you through deep forests where everything seems just slightly different.


Koi Forest consists of four band members: drummer Koen Gardebroek, bassist/pianist

Deborah Slijkhuis, guitarist Sebastiaan Visser and singer Selma Ebbens.


In spring 2025 they'll release their debut album.
