Melbourne-based Multi-Instrumentalist Nik Fentiman Takes Listeners on a Sonic Journey Through Modern Psych, Indie-Rock, Synthwave, and Indie-Folk on his Latest Release.
Melbourne-based multi-instrumentalist Nik Fentiman has just released his sophomore EP under the solo project name Old China. The three-track EP, titled ‘Morning Show’, showcases a genre-bending sound that draws on elements of modern psych, indie-rock, synthwave, and indie-folk.
As a lifelong tune freak, Nik’s solo passion project, Old China, takes influence from a wide range of genres and artists, from classical composer Beethoven to soul legend Bill Withers and alternative icons Gorillaz. This eclectic mix is evident in the diverse range of sounds on ‘Morning Show’, with each track exploring different sonic landscapes.
Despite the varied genres, there is a cohesive thread that runs throughout the EP, with Nik’s unique voice and songwriting style tying everything together. As the sole writer, performer, and recorder of all parts on his records, Nik brings a personal touch to every aspect of his music, creating a distinctive sound that is entirely his own.
Old China’s ‘Morning Show’ is a testament to the evolution of music genres and how artists can draw on multiple influences to create something fresh and unique. With upcoming shows around Melbourne, it’s an exciting time for Nik and his solo project, and we can’t wait to see where his musical journey takes him next.
