Nervous at Night

Description

‘Nervous at Night’ is Hickey’s debut full length album on Phoebe Bridgers’ Saddest Factory Records. Where 2021’s ‘Count the Stairs’ EP was an attempt to capture the rawness of his performance, ‘Nervous at Night’ comes alive within its production, Hickey and producer Marshall Vore leaning into their perfectionist tendencies to find the best version of each track. ‘He’s always interested in how you can push things further but also reigns them in when necessary’. Hickey says. ‘I think that’s the true hallmark of a good producer’. Hickey calls it a pop record but admits that sonically it moves in many directions, an amalgamation of his love for the folk singers of yesteryear and more contemporary peers, from Taylor Swift and The 1975 to the Californian songwriter and producer Blake Mills. This shifting of styles – from the album’s quiet heavy-hearted ballads to its more gleaming, hook-led tracks – mirrors its overarching theme: life’s graceless passage between teenage years and adulthood.
