Haeffner, Nick - What Time Can Do

Nick's mastery of songwriting and playing are as evident here as going back over the years to the Tea Set' Sean O'Hagan, High Llamas. He has been described by Alan Moore (Watchman, From Hell) as ‘one of the country’s most wonderful secret voices’. The LP has a sparkling mix by legendary producer/engineer, Paul Tipler (Stereolab, Placebo, Julian Cope, Undertones). Expertly mastered by Anthony Chapman of Collapsed Lung and cut to get maximum clarity and volume. The tracks feature Marcus Holdaway of The High Llamas, Canadian jazz singer Chris Cummings (Marker Starling), the legend that is Clive Pig and Madrid based multi-instrumentalist Yani Martinelli. Percussion is by Jim Wallis (Modern Nature). Nick Haeffner’s music is an eclectic, mix of indie pop, folk, psychedelia, prog, chamber pop and world music with the odd bit of dub thrown in. It’s the sound of quirky lyrics set to ear worm melodies over crafty chord chord changes, toe tapping rhythms and trippy atmospherics. For fans of The High Llamas and Kevin Ayers, plus readers of Shindig.
