Enter the captivating world of NÆ, a Chicago-based cosmic pop duo blending high-energy performances and sci-fi storytelling. NÆ (JaNae Contag) and Blizz (Ryan Black) ignite audiences with messages of self-expression, inclusivity, and rediscovering your inner child.
Their upcoming LP, Orbital Ice Cream, drops in 2026.


We made the universe for “Anti-Gravity” by hand. 🫧

Swipe through to zoom in on the world behind our single... NÆ made the illustrations and Blizz created the gorgeous aerosol art background. It was so fun to bring this single artwork to life and get into the details.

Hope you're grooving to "Anti-Gravity"! Listen wherever you stream. :)

We submitted our first ever entry to the NPR Tiny Desk Contest! 🎉

What a blast getting to record a live performance for our new song, "Anti-Gravity" with Blizz (bass, trumpet, vocals), Dan Murphy (keys), and Lucas Gillan (drums). You'll love the gorgeous video filmed in one take by Kristen Smith, and we couldn't have done it without Lilith Sleater (PA). It was truly a team effort, and we're thrilled with the immersive and groovy mix by Blizz (aka Ryan Black).

Hope you love this special live performance by a NASA console desk as much as we do. <3

The moment when we realized our spaceship was going down, we did what any reasonable cosmonauts would do... we pretended to be cool.

In the meantime, please enjoy these stills and epic behind-the-scenes photos from our process. ~ NÆ & Blizz
