Gold & Red by Nikko
'Gold & Red' is an album characterised as much by its melodic grace as by its pervasive sense of doom - recorded in the cavernous orchestral hall of Brisbane's historic Old Museum with Cameron Smith (Velociraptor, No Anchor), mixed by Aaron Cupples (The Drones, Paul & Dan Kelly, SNOWMAN) and mastered by Nao Anzai (Laura, Because Of Ghosts, These Hands). The nine songs here recognise a growing maturity and depth that has been brought to life by the considered approach to the compositions.
