2018 release. American darkwave/atmospheric act Lycia returns to Projekt for the 4th release of their second era. In Flickers is an emotionally charged album of deeply personal darkwave/post-rock. The ten tracks are intriguing meditations on forgotten paths, corrupted hopes, and faint memories of beauty. The open-ended melancholy captures a cold and desolate spirit, a sound as somber as the lyrics themselves. Pitchfork: "Arizona's Lycia has been pioneers of darkwave... a noteworthy and boundary-pushing act." In their 30th year, Lycia still pushes at the boundaries experimenting with sound. In Flickers explores dynamic new sonic territory while reflecting back on the emotional atmospheres of Lycia's classic 90s sound. The current lineup of Mike VanPortfleet, Tara Vanflower, David Galas and John Fair brings together all past Lycia members for an album fueled by the varied and vibrant current darkwave (and related) scenes and in turn by the 80s bands that influenced these scenes. Lycia goes full circle back to their original inspirations. In that sense, the release feels both new and retro.
