Nicholas Ives is a multi-disciplinary contemporary artist, painter, sculptor and producer based in Melbourne, Australia. I discovered him by chance a few weeks ago, and his music totally took over my speakers lately. We're working on putting out his album "Breaking Dawn" on a cassette tape via Dagger Forest right now, but today I wanted to share his latest album "Saturn Devouring". It's a sonic response to his recent art exhibition entitled Saturn Devouring at Oigall Projects in Melbourne week ago. 45 minutes of sound collage, warped electronica and abstract beats that can bring to mind works of AFTA-1, Dem Hunger and Yuk, a psych-trip through delirious deserts and hazy hills of an imaginary Australian wasteland. So so good.
Buy the album here (including a super limited tape edition), and stream it below.
