About Nicci Kasper Nicci Kasper is today’s answer to an empty void of Psychedelic Rock, Psych Folk, Space Rock and Hood Rock. Nicci provides major musical and stylistic direction much like Syd Barrett, Klaus Schultz, Clare Fischer, Bill Evans, and Freddie Mercury Synth bass and effects provide a pulsing undercurrent of danceable, chunky, post-punk grooves and menacing texture to every track he produces. Nicci’s production efforts combine these rock roots with a dirty, urban-laced undercurrent that owes much to classic “B-Boy” era hip-hop and early ‘80s electro. The final result is always current and timely, those in the know refer to it as now wave. A series of layered, ethereal and esoteric dreamscapes that consume the listener. Taking us far away from the doldrums of everyday existence and providing the soundtrack to the life we dream about.
