Nicholas Joseph - Nicholas Joseph is a Kirikiriroa-based singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with roots in the Auckland indie scene, having spent a decade as bassist for post-punk trio Vacants and later primary songwriter and frontperson of Deer Park. Taking cues from Big Thief, Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Nick Hakim, his music is arresting and melodic — unembellished, layered vocals over intricate electric guitar. Earlier this year he released an EP through Poneke collective Sonorous Circle — a restless, shape-shifting collection written and produced in an underground recording studio in Shanghai. One half of Kirikiriroa duo Big Sigh, Joseph is now set to release his debut album Sailing, recorded at Bagnall Hill Studio in Te Pahu and produced by De Stevens (Office Dog, Ernie Bell), with Arden Tanner-Dempsey on drums and De on bass guitar.
