NICK LOVELL

Upon his arrival home from New York in early 2007, and the culmination of his band, the Jungle People, Nick Lovell packed up home in Melbourne and followed a call to the sea. Setting up house in Ocean Grove, Nick started sketching his next record.

With the birth of his first child imminent, a change was coming. On the threshold of amazing journeys, complications and confusion can prevail. Instead, a beautiful simplicity shone through.

Nick's demos embodied the evocative spirit and experiences of the past, drawing a line toward his future sound. The richness of his material, the maturity of his instrumentation, and the raw soul in his vocal, did not change: they blossomed.

Recorded and mixed by Robin Mai (John Butler Trio, Augie March, Tim Rogers), Christian Scallan (known for his work with David Bridie and My Friend The Chocolate Cake)
Imaginary Boy possesses all the passion, honesty and energy that Nick's previous incarnations had celebrated. The music of squalling waves, hard run journeys, warm breezes, wind whipped cliffs, backyard sun and coming home to love, this record documents Nick's most truthful work so far.

A skilful, soulful and passionate artist, Nick delivers musical expression that's thoughtful and unmistakably real, inviting contemplation, joy and a simple love of great music.

Nick Lovell wishes he was 19 and a rock star! The reality is that Nick is a damn good singer/song-writer who creates killer songs like the one most recently featured on ABC's documentary "The Ball". Spanning a career of over a decade, Nick has dedicated much of his life to writing, performing, and producing music - his own and those of other talented musicians in Melbourne. He has performed at music festivals such as the Apollo Bay Music Festival (2010) and has toured Victoria, NSW and Tasmania. Nick has released a number of independent albums and E.P's, the most recent being "Imaginary Boy", out through Medici/MGM.
