about

'The Child' is the opening track from Nikko's forthcoming second album 'Gold & Red', due for release on the 3rd of July, 2012.

An 8-minute epic about the coming apocalypse, 'The Child' is indicative of the new album; its scale, orchestration and stylistic temperament.

about

"Hovering between melancholic barroom balladry and thunderous post-rock, Nikko inhabit a niche in the Brisbane music scene ... more all of their own, a Gothic Western sound that lays the atmospherics on thick and never lets the tension slip… a force to be reckoned with."

– Brendan Telford, Time Off Magazine less
