Old Nick – The Truest Spell (2023)

Projects like Old Nick should always be taken with a pinch of salt but it is astounding how good this record actually is. The songwriting is fantastic, and some of the ways these songs turn out is just incredible, with these fantastic riffs or synth passages just coming out of nowhere and blindsiding you. Honestly, there’s a lot of talent here, and a real knack for writing catchy and engaging music, its just that its buried (intentionally it seems) beneath a wall of grime and bad production. As always with this kind of thing, that’s part of the charm rather than a defect or a strike against it. But yeah, this is excellent.
