Brandy of the Damned

VINYL FORMAT. Nickel Eye is the solo project of The Strokes bassist Nikolai Fraiture. When The Strokes hiatus began taking longer than expected, Nikolai Fraiture reached into an old shoebox of poems and rants written years ago. With his free time, he began adapting them to music. Enlisting the help of UK band South, Nickel Eye was born and started recording in Hackney, London. It is musically influenced by some of Nikolai's favorite artists, such as Neil Young, Frank Black, Leonard Cohen and The Kinks.
