Memories Of A Distant Sea

The strange and fragile Memories Of A Distant Sea forms the vehicle for unique songwriter Nick Wilson.
It explores a full spectrum of experiences and ideas, from ecstatic reunion with the Self to the sweet desperation of suicidal urges, from addiction to the debate between dualistic and non-dualistic philosophies, from nihilism to the deepest feelings of romantic-erotic love, from environmental and social upheaval to sexual confusion and sorcery.

Courting abysmal failure, Wilson stirs a queer pop sensibility into a strange brew of progressive rock and roots music. From this grow moments of ambient mergence, fusion grooves and driving rock. The emphasis on process over polish means that improvisation, lo-fi recording and raw sounds feature frequently in the work.
