Setting a striking contrast to lead single Thick, Sleep It Off captures the essence of a live recording, with minimal overdubs, delivering an authentic and powerful sound. The track features the talents of Mason Fairey on drums, Eamon Edmundson-Wells on bass, Durham Fenwick on synth, album producer Shayne P Carter on guitar, as well as Nicklin on guitar.

The recording process of Sleep It Off was a collaborative effort, tracked live to preserve the spontaneity and synergy of the musicians. This method allowed the song to evolve into a swirling soup of sound and emotion, enveloping listeners in its rich textures.

To celebrate the release of her new album this August, Nicklin is excited to announce she is hitting the road in September on The Big Sulk Album Tour. Taking place in Nelson, Christchurch, Dunedin, Wellington and Auckland, this tour will see Nicklin and her full band bring songs from The Big Sulk to life. Tickets for all dates are on sale now from undertheradar.co.nz

Releasing on Friday 23 August The Big Sulk showcases the evolution of Nicklin as an artist. Written and recorded with more patience and consideration than her previous works, the album delves into themes of Nicklin’s relationships with people, stories of individuals within her orbit, and self-reflection. Each track is delivered with her searingly honest lyrics, dark, enveloping melodies, and instinctive guitar playing, making it an enticing cocktail of eight tracks.
