Nick Harper & the Wilderness Kids - Lies! Lies! Lies!

Vinyl LP pressing. 2017 album that sees Nick depart from his norm to expand his line up to a band. After leaving a streak of rip-roaring, celebratory shows in 2016, road-testing his back catalog of 12 albums, Nick Harper & The Wilderness Kids (aka Port Erin) are back with Lies! Lies! Lies! The album was recorded in Studio La Fabrique, France with the legendary producer Tchad Blake (The Black Keys, Pearl Jam, T-Bone, Peter Gabriel). Blake brings his masterful touch to the unceasingly creative cauldron of Nick, his songs and now, his band. The Wilderness Kids met up with the renowned solo acoustic singer-songwriter at a record store day event, where they jammed on some of Nick's tracks from his best of set The Wilderness Years. Nick immediately realized the potential, promptly picked up a baritone electric guitar and the pace hasn't let up since. The exciting energy and chemistry between the four has had Nick's fans in rapture and the combination of the much-loved songwriter added to the zest present in this new gang, made capturing the zeitgeist in the words and music of the new album inevitable. Lies! Lies! Lies! Is an intelligent, yet exuberant album rooted very much in the now.
