Flicker Vertigo is the brainchild of Nathan Nicholson. After releasing 3 albums of instrumental material in the space of 3 months upon inception in 2015, Nicholson retreated to his home studio in the sleepy beachside town of Rosebud, Victoria two hours south of Melbourne, to create the 4th album 'Epiphany'. Bursting with crunchy psychedelic textures, blissed out melodies fluttering overhead, explosive rhythms and intricate grooves whizzing by, plus subliminal nods to afrobeat, krautrock and jazz bubbling upon the horizon and melting into the kaleidoscopic haze, 'Epiphany' represents a total expansion of the sonic palette and marks the first time Flicker Vertigo have featured vocals.
Armed with a plethora of effects pedals and an obsessive desire to push the sonic boundaries and expand the comfort zone previously set, 'Epiphany' was written and recorded from 2015-16 amidst a period of profound self-discovery and growth. Inspired by re-occurring dreams and a series of sudden epiphanies experienced out by the ocean and immersed in nature, 'Epiphany' is the sound of beauty amongst chaos, the trepidatious feeling before plunging into the deep end and the resulting afterglow.
