about

Nikko’s latest release, a double A-side single entitled 'About the Spirit/Smoke Alarms', features two new tracks taken from the band’s upcoming sophomore album, due for release later this year.

The tracks demonstrate a stylistic change in direction that showcases frontman Ryan Potter’s skills as a songwriter and lyricist, along with the band’s collective ability to craft these skills into distinctive and compelling arrangements.

about

Nikko Brisbane, Australia

"Hovering between melancholic barroom balladry and thunderous post-rock, Nikko inhabit a niche in the Brisbane music scene 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
