Nick Ward - House With The Blue Door (Blue Vinyl)

Emi - 5880008

Blue Vinyl

Nick Ward initially envisioned his debut album, "House With The Blue Door," completed just before his 22nd birthday, as a kind of blurred time capsule for his youth. After spending an afternoon at a Sydney exhibition of Hilma Af Klint's "The Ten Largest" (1907) paintings, Nick Ward had the idea to create an album about childhood, and the lingering emotions of the past.

"It's about family, childhood, DNA, and the complex relationship we have with the past. I wanted to encapsulate my childhood and adolescence into a single statement and explore the way trauma and memory influence who I am today. They were significant influences on the structure of the record, and the way those filmmakers translated memories from their childhoods into abstracted stories and vignettes," explains Nick. "Initially, the album began as an attempt to tap into the sunny, innocent feeling of being a kid, but I think all the turbulence of life and growing up made its way into the music too."

"House With The Blue Door" was produced and written by Nick Ward and his friends - Gab Strum (Mallrat / Allday / Gretta Ray), Golden Vessel (1tsbp / BAYNK / Emerson Leif), Len20 (Lil Nas X / Kid Cudi), Tim Nelson (Cub Sport), Simon Lam (Kllo / Armlock / Phoebe Go), SOLLYY, and FRIDAY*.

Joe Visciano (SZA, Lil Nas X, Kendrick Lamar) mixed the entire project.
