Neva Dinova
Neva Dinova is an indie band from Omaha, Nebraska, formed in 1993 "at the height of the slowcore movement" by guitarist/singer-songwriter Jake Bellows and bassist Heath Koontz. The band is named after Jake Bellows's grandmother. They were initially on Crank! A Record Company, where they released their debut album Neva Dinova in 2002, followed by a collaborative split EP with Bright Eyes entitled One Jug of Wine, Two Vessels in 2004 and their second album The Hate Yourself Change in 2005. The band's third album You May Already Be Dreaming was released in 2008 on Saddle Creek Records. The group subsequently dissolved, playing their last show in 2009.
Saddle Creek reissued the 2004 EP One Jug of Wine, Two Vessels in 2010, with four new tracks. In August 2013, frontman Jake Bellows released his solo debut album New Ocean on Saddle Creek. Neva Dinova's next performance came in December 2014. In 2022, the group released their "rarities collection" Demos And C-Sides. In 2023, they released two new songs, "Something's Out There" and "Outside".
Neva Dinova's music is "dreamy and sparse, delicate and moody", containing elements of folk, psychedelia, rock, acoustic, and country. They are known for having small and intimate live shows.
Drummer Roger Lewis is also the drummer for fellow Saddle Creek band The Good Life. Bellows remained a key associate with Bright Eyes and contributed to their 2007 album Cassadaga.
