lyrics

Time crawls, it's lonely, Surreal life grows internally, Midnight fantasies, Dreaming of normalcy, After dark on the run, Hazy gazing at suburban slums, If I squint my eyes, The dappled lights tranquillise Oh please carry me away on that shooting star, When it crumbles into dust I'll land somewhere else, Where I'm free to roam, a glimmer of hope, Back to reality, just this grassy oasis and me You and I, we both see, A city shrouded in mundanity, But we have this lonely hill, We'll brave the winter chill, Slowly ascending, Suburban twilight, collective grief, The days just crawl by by by by, Soundtracked by dissonant sighs I feel okay if I meditate and gaze til the angst is at bay, Just focus on the beauty that surrounds you, I'll escape and pretend it's 1997, Nostalgic and free with my whole life in front of me I'll just sit and dream these nights away, Wake me when it ends, Paralysed peacefully, By midnight fantasies

about

The kaleidoscopic and head-spinning 6th album from Flicker Vertigo 'Infinite Verve'

Half recorded in a creative flurry in the space of just a week during a Covid lockdown in Melbourne, Australia, it dives even deeper into Flicker Vertigo's trademark wall of sound. The boundaries are pushed further and further until they crumble away, resulting in a colourful and powerful cosmic journey through new sonic terrains, including explosive celestial psychedelic dream pop, the blown-out barely controlled chaos of fuzzy garage rock, and cosmic lo-fi house, to name a few.

All of this is bound together by visceral warped guitar tones, trippy echoed vocals, restless melodic basslines, and hypnotic and driving krautrock drum grooves.

It's a serious leap in quality and a bold new vision from Flicker Vertigo that shows that he isn't messing around, blazing a new trail from influences like Tame Impala, Melody's Echo Chamber, Thee Oh Sees, My Bloody Valentine, King Gizzard & Can.

Thematically, 'Infinite Verve' is a defiant one, speaking to your inner power and strength to be yourself in the face of societal pressures. It's the pep talk you need to be your weird self. The powers that be can never extinguish your "infinite verve" if you don't let them.

"My goal was to make it as colourful and sensory-stimulating of an experience as possible, purposefully pushing things as far as I could. I really want to spin people's heads out with this album.

We all have an infinite verve inside of us - that joyful spirit that sits at your core when all the layers of conditioning and nonsense are stripped away.

This album is me celebrating the oddballs, the artists, the outcasts that don’t fit into the system, which I actually think is secretly most people. If you don’t neatly fit into a little box, then only by going against the grain can you be truly happy.

It’s about being defiant and not caring what anyone thinks. Pushing back and laughing at the ridiculousness of society. Using their scorn to fuel your own fire. Resolving to pay no attention to any of that noise and just do your thing with no apologies - every single human has their own unique thing to offer."
- Nathan Nicholson/Flicker Vertigo

Flicker Vertigo Melbourne, Australia

Music to daydream to. Bursting with crunchy psychedelic textures, sun-dappled guitar hooks, blissed-out melodies fluttering overhead, and hypnotic, driving grooves, plus subliminal nods to dream pop, garage psych, krautrock, shoegaze and house bubbling upon the horizon and melting into the kaleidoscopic haze. A dreamy, cosmic, vertigo-inducing mixture that consumes you and transmits you skyward. ... more
