In this episode of the Lorenzo's Music Podcast, I talk with Nick Davies, a musician based in Madison. Known for his work with the band Gentle Brontosaurus, Nick has now ventured into a solo project called Spiral Island, with a new album set to release in August.
Nick shares insights into his musical journey, starting with Gentle Brontosaurus, a band nearing its ten-year anniversary. We delve into the band's origins, the evolution of its lineup, and the unique story behind its name.
We also talk about Spiral Island, Nick's solo project that began around 2017. He talks about the creative freedom it offers, allowing him to explore genres like shoegaze, post-rock, and dance-pop. Nick explains the inspiration behind the name Spiral Island.
We also talk about Nick's experience with February Album Writing Month, a challenge to write 14 songs in 28 days, and how it has influenced his upcoming album. He gives us a sneak peek into his recording setup and the instruments he uses, including an auto harp with a piezo pickup for unique soundscapes.
Nick discusses the artwork for Spiral Island, created by comic artist David Lujan, and his plans for promoting the album, including a Bandcamp listening party. He also talks about his side gig as a science fiction writer under the pen name Aster Loxley.
