Philly-based band Nyxy Nyx have a history of reworking their own discography. Tracklistings shift, masters are swapped, and songs are re-recorded. In many cases, a release is solely accessible by those with a download or physical copy.

For the first time ever, Nyxy Nyx will “commit to perpetuity” with the release of Cult Classics Vol. 1, out via Julia’s War Recordings on September 12, 2025. The song “in haze” is out now.

Brian Reichert, Tim Jordan (Sun Organ), Benjamin Schurr (Luna Honey), and Alex Ha (ex-Knifeplay) are joined by Madeline Johnston (Midwife) and Josh Meakim (A Sunny Day in Glasgow) for Nyxy Nyx’s first full-band studio record.

Recorded by Dan Angel, Cult Classics Vol. 1 represents the heaviest iteration of Nyxy Nyx, capturing their live energy and making this a great introduction for new fans.

Nyxy Nyx began in 2014 as a performance art project between Brian Riechert and Drew Saracco. The duo played Noise and Underground Punk shows, collaborating with friends and guest musicians. Home recordings, tapes, and CDs of “Nyxy Nyx” music have been distributed by labels, but most are DIY: handmade, shared with friends, and found in little libraries.

By 2020, Nyxy Nyx had assembled a live band and played consistently, toured the East Coast, and then recorded Cult Classics Vol. 1. Every song on this album was performed live, but none played the same way twice.
