Our Take

Fresh off the back of a string of critically acclaimed singles, Ian Hicks has finally dropped his highly anticipated debut album, "Character Collapse." And let me tell you, it's a wild ride.

Opening with the frenetic energy of "Fizzy Pop Genocide," Hicks immediately establishes himself as a force to be reckoned with. The distorted guitars and pounding drums are a sonic assault on the senses, but in the best possible way. It's like being slapped in the face with a rainbow.

Tracks like "Neon Nightmare" and "Dystopian Disco" showcase Hicks' ability to seamlessly blend genres, from punk rock to electronica, creating a sound that is uniquely his own. The lyrics are dark and introspective, exploring themes of identity and alienation in a world gone mad.

But it's not all doom and gloom. "Bubblegum Apocalypse" is a tongue-in-cheek ode to the end of the world, complete with catchy hooks and infectious melodies. It's the kind of song that will have you dancing on the edge of oblivion.

Overall, "Character Collapse" is a triumph. Hicks has managed to craft an album that is both sonically adventurous and lyrically profound. It's a rollercoaster of emotions that will leave you breathless and begging for more. Trust me, this is one collapse you'll want to experience.

About the artist

Ian Hicks

Ian Hicks is the enigmatic musical polymath that everyone in the industry is talking about. With a discography as diverse as his taste in Hawaiian shirts, Hicks effortlessly blends elements of jazz, electronica, and folk to create a sound that is uniquely his own. Born and raised in the bustling streets of London, Hicks's musical journey began at a young age when he stumbled upon a dusty old record player in his grandmother's attic. From that moment on, he was hooked, spending countless hours dissecting the intricacies of each note and melody. Fast forward to the present day, and Hicks is a force to be reckoned with in the music scene. His latest album, "Neon Dreams," has been heralded as a masterpiece by critics and fans alike, with its infectious blend of catchy hooks and thoughtful lyrics. But it's not just his music that sets Hicks apart from the crowd. With his signature curly mop of hair and penchant for quirky sunglasses, he's a true original in an industry full of copycats and wannabes. Whether he's headlining Glastonbury or playing an intimate acoustic set in a dingy club, Hicks never fails to captivate his audience with his raw talent and undeniable charisma. In a world where music can often feel soulless and manufactured, Ian Hicks is a refreshing reminder that true artistry still exists. So do yourself a favor and give his music a listen. You won't be disappointed.
