Liverpudlian self-proclaimed ‘sexistentialist’ Brad Stank today unveils his second single of 2023, ‘Flicker On!’.
“Writing Flicker On! was an attempt at using the candle as metaphor”, explains Brad. “It can represent something to reach for in the dark, or maybe you yourself are that light in the dark – it can represent an object of desire or the idea of enlightenment… as you can maybe see from the ‘Long Distance’ video too the idea of the candle is a theme which may carry through all the new music.”
Brad further details that the stylistic choice of the “90s slacker vibe” stems from inspirations such as Pavement and Happyness. “It started as a very bare idea that Andy really helped to bring alive in the recording process.”
