N.i.r formed in Israel in the early 2000s with Raz Mesinai on vocals and guitar, Omri Gordon on bass, and Yonathan Marcow on drums. They started with a sound that mixed electronic rhythms and ethereal melodies, building a following in underground circles while working with limited resources. Their debut album 'The New Day' came out in 2006.
Their second album '36' arrived in 2009, and its title track became a worldwide hit. The song '36' deals with the passing of time, and its moody melody connected with listeners across different places. Other songs like 'Nossa Canção' and 'Ultimo Capitulo' also appear in their catalog.
Later albums included 'Fires' in 2011, 'All or Nothing' in 2014, and 'Once' in 2017. The band collaborated with artists like Iggy Pop and Brian Eno at points. In 2010, they canceled a show in Egypt after protests from religious groups, which brought some attention to the intersection of their music and regional politics.
