Melbourne duo Nick Acquroff and Dominique Garrard aka nyck have me feeling all of the feels with their stripped-back, harmony-laden debut single “Decision.” Raw, honest and emotionally despairing, the song hears nyck perfectly encapsulate the often crippling pain of a breakup, while presenting a sound that makes you feel irrefutably alive.
nyck (pronounced n.y.c.k), a music project by Acquroff, with Garrard, strips away all of the noise and clutter and focuses on the fundamentals. A project that is honest and raw in its portrayal of the monotonous and the every day. A resident of St.Kilda in Melbourne, Acquroff tells stories that bring the sweetness and sadness and loneliness of suburban Melbourne to life.
But what’s most idiosyncratic and interesting about the music project nyck, is the way it so naturally blends a feeling of heartbreak and despair with music that makes you feel present, illuminated, and free.
