Soft Connections bridges the songwriting influences of the vintage American powerpop of Emmit Rhodes and Alex Chilton, along with UK giants like The Kinks and XTC.

Tracks like "Hearts, Repeating" and "I Feel Again" - two classic singles in the radio sense of the word-show the maturity in craftsmanship Nic's been honing these past four years.

The making of Soft Connections was a lengthy process that took place during a crucial period of musical growth and self-exploration.

It's an optimistic and introspective record about being in-and-out of feeling - on the brink of a personal breakthrough, yet still seeking direction, purpose, truth and permanence.

Anchored by the Catwalk favorite "(Please) Don't Break Me" - a song that, at one point, could very well have launched Nic into "indie celebdom" - this record is now a send-off to Nic's lost time; he's moved forward, sounding better than ever and ready to soundtrack your long road trip or failed crush.

This will be the first record in what we all hope to be a lengthy string of great albums.
