IN LUCID DREAMS
After years spent honing their craft, Melbourne-based progressive rock outfit, In Lucid Dreams finally made their way out from the shadows with long-awaited debut single, 'Rise' back in 2021.Following a brief hiatus, the band led by Founder and Guitarist/Singer/Songwriter, Pete Joseph released follow up single, 'Chasing Ghosts’ in early 2024. In Lucid Dreams’ latest offering, ‘Moths to Flames’ is the highly anticipated 3rd and final single off their forthcoming debut EP, 'Dawn of Fate'.
‘Moths to Flames’ features drummer Nick Osborne of Perth instrumental wizards, Yomi Ship and was recorded and engineered by Simon Mitchell at Revolver Sound Studios in Perth and mastered by Forrester Savell. In the vein of Australia’s pioneering prog rock exports such as Karnivooland Cog, In Lucid Dreams’ sound is ever-evolving, forging a unique, melodic and emotionally fuelled journey throughout each and every release and ‘Moths to Flames’ is no exception. While In Lucid Dreams’ first couple of releases fell more on the heavier side of the spectrum right out of the gate, ‘Moths to Flames’ is more of a slow burner, drawing upon more psychedelic influences in its earlier, mellower parts before erupting into an epic crescendo around the halfway point that shows no sign of letting up right until the songs end. In Lucid Dreams are currently hard at work recording ‘Darkest Before Dawn’, the final track for their forthcoming EP that they’re planning to release later this year. In the meantime though, you can stream latest single, ‘Moths to Flames’ now across all online platforms and download the track from ,

FLICKER VERTIGO
Flicker Vertigo is the psychedelic rock brainchild of Nathan Nicholson. Bursting with crunchy psychedelic textures, sun-dappled guitar hooks swirling in an explosive wall of sound, blissed-out melodies fluttering overhead, and hypnotic, driving grooves whizzing by, plus subliminal nods to dream pop, garage psych, krautrock, shoegaze and house bubbling upon the horizon and melting into the kaleidoscopic haze. It's a dreamy, cosmic, vertigo-inducing mixture that consumes you and transmits you skyward
