a follow-up to 2023's critically acclaimed create myself, NOVA ONE's record of 2026 is a return to form. how to kiss harkens back to the band's origins of yearning bedroom pop through the lens of falling in love during the apocalypse. the album evokes the same goosebumps as their 2020 hit "feeling ugly". enjoy the cozy instrumentation of warm synths, acoustic guitar, and rich harmonies; the sounds of organic and synthetic elements playing together.
