1 de nov. de 2020 · by Nick Harper. Crinklechips Nick goes psychedelic on this one. An album that intertwines the story of getting together with his wife and the the novel Phantastes by George Mcdonald. The Drum samples and keys on this album are all triggered by the guitar he’s playing.
Track Listings. Product description. After a very busy 2013 and the success of Riven, Nick Harper is back with his 9th studio album Nix. It's an old fashioned snapshot of 10 days in the studio. With one microphone, one guitar and a few tunes, this is Nick Harper as his fans prefer him.
