Pink Moon is undoubtedly Nick’s most famous body of work, thanks to the title track appearing on a car advertisement in America.

Commercials aside, it’s quite difficult to describe how hard-hitting this album is particularly when you consider that it only lasts for under half an hour. On the first listen it’s easy to miss out on the brilliance on some of the track’s. It took me a few listens of ‘Things Behind The Sun’ to really appreciate the complexity of the harmonies and counterharmonies.

“Horn” consists barely of a few notes - yet it’s one of the most affecting tracks on the album. Very few artists would have been able to pull off something so bleak and cutting with a 2 minute instrumental track. “Horn” adds to the raw emotional charge to the album and set’s the listener up for arguably the strongest 4 tracks on the album.

My favourite has to be “Parasite” which is amazing… I can’t think of another way to describe it. (I wouldn’t really make a great rock journalist now, would I?). It’s entrancing, so much so that it renders the lyrics irrelevant in my eyes. Nick’s guitar and voice merge into one entity to produce something that is truly unsettling.

I’m not going to single out anymore tracks as I could spend hours blabbering on about them. And when I blabber on, I become sidetracked……ahem…….anyway.

For the past year and a half I’ve used this album as hangover therapy. If I’m feeling wretched I’ll put this on and lie back on my bed and just relax. It works too. Much more than egg and bacon. I seriously recommend it! It also works well after you’ve just come home from the pub pissed and are looking for something to fry to. Not to take anything away from the music. It just has that effect on me.
