Sprinkled with just enough fairy dust to make you daydream whilst being consumed by the crunchy wall of sound, ‘Infinite Verve’ is an energising shot of empowering garage psych.

Catchy hook after hook is smashed through a crunchy lo-fi blender, revelling in the psychedelic textures found only by pushing things to their limit.

Guitars bend and warp with every strum, the vocals echo and crackle with energy and enthusiasm, the drums thunder alongside the bass propelling you forward like an elastic band stretched to breaking point.

It’s simultaneously hard-hitting, hypnotic and dreamy, indulging in Flicker Vertigo’s influences from garage psych rock, krautrock and dream pop. All at once, it sounds like The Flaming Lips having a party with King Gizzard, with Melody’s Echo Chamber and The Strokes gatecrashing the whole thing.

Flicker Vertigo is the psychedelic rock brainchild of Nathan Nicholson, with everything written, recorded, mixed and mastered by Nicholson himself. A native of Melbourne, Australia, and currently based in Bournemouth in South Coast UK, Flicker Vertigo is music to daydream to. Bursting with crunchy psychedelic textures, sun-dappled guitar hooks swirling in an explosive wall of sound, blissed-out melodies fluttering overhead, and hypnotic, driving grooves whizzing by, plus subliminal nods to dream pop, garage psych, krautrock, shoegaze and house bubbling upon the horizon and melting into the kaleidoscopic haze. It's a dreamy, cosmic, vertigo-inducing mixture that consumes you and transmits you skyward.

Lyrics
---------
The last couple of years have blemished our souls,
Living life like lemmings, bruised egos thriving,
Paranoid, reactive,
Just breathe in, breathe out

Stirring deep inside you'll see,
An infinite verve in me,
Verve in you, verve in we,
Infinitely consumes you,
Stirring deep inside you'll see,
An infinite verve in me,
Verve in you, verve in we,
Infinitely consumes you

Now this time the hive mind have lost control,
Grip loosening around our spirit's naive wonderment,
Boundless potential,
Our eyes are opened wide

Stirring deep inside you'll see,
An infinite verve in me,
Verve in you, verve in we,
Infinitely consumes you
Stirring deep inside you'll see,
An infinite verve in me,
Verve in you, verve in we,
Verve in you, verve in me,
Verve,
Stirring deep inside you'll see,
An infinite verve in me

You misunderstand my dreams,
Matter of fact, you misunderstand reality,
This bold new frontier is not a dream,
This bold new frontier is real

– BBC Radio
 
“Sick flow and dirty production that sounds like nobody else in the biz right now”
– Stacy Gougoulis, triple j
 
“Neck-snapping linguistic battles untangled at every opportunity by the experimental jazz jam contingent. It's a merging that recalls the freedom of The Roots 'Illadelph Halflife' era soul/rap”
