Shipwreck LP is the first album under the name Nick Huggins with ten songs and a cover and a narrative thread.

Maybe the kind of narrative you would find waking up from a strange afternoon sleep.

It was created in a seaside town and is influenced in equal parts by cheap joyful pop music and the writings of John Cage.

Some people whose opinion I value have said these things about the record:

'The first time I listened through it made me think of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, cutting across someone's brain and seeing all these bits of thoughts, pictures and sounds flicker through and pass. It's original, inventive, very pretty, beautiful, but innovative and strange as well.'

Eva Popov

'...this is something that feels to me uniquely local. but it is also amazing, gentle music, ‘gently’ experimental but with a universal appeal. its intimate without having that intentionally lo-fi shoddiness that sucks life out of so much so-called freak-folk that i think i might otherwise get into. Instead there is a careful devotion to the sound of each song.'

Faux Pas

'...nick's solo recordings are electronic natural sounding things, like an underwater robot (old 50's robot, with lots of whurring dials and extensions) playing banjo, restrained inward looking dance tracks.'

Seagull

'...it's like a hot air ballon ride. Like a hot air balloon with a zoo in it?...sounds like a choose your own adventure!'

Hazel Brown

It is available now on .. and other digital retailers.

Flesh and blood copies can be found at Readings Bookstore (Carlton), Polyester Records, and Metropolis, as well as via online order through Two Bright Lakes

Genevieve Bailey and Henrick Nordstrom made a filmclip for the cassette single (with dance mega mix side B) 'The Movie we Made'. It uses entirely still photographs and stars Ani, the strongest three year old i've ever met.

The album is released through the Two Bright Lakes creative gang.
