He has been releasing records under various monikers since P:ANO’s acclaimed chamber pop debut “When It’s Dark And It’s Summer” in 2002, which has led to his work with the girl group inspired GIGI, the icy displacement of the r’n’b informed NO KIDS and most recently to the singular pop dreams released under his full legal name NICHOLAS KRGOVICH. Even though the material is often wildly diverse there is a unmistakable sense of Krgovich’s deep commitment to exploring the endless possibilities of pop, a discerning ear for sonic detail and quite often an ambition that wilfully borders on the absurd.
With songs that owe as much to the Great American Songbook as to perennial favourites like Sade, Prefab Sprout and The Blue Nile, Krgovich has been spinning rich compositions out of obsessions with Old Hollywood grandeur and Mullholland Drive-style mystery, which create a dreamland where palm trees cast impossibly long shadows, courtyard swimming pools glow at night, and washed-up movie stars haunt the streets looking for love. With a musical universe comprised of intricate vocal melodies, lush orchestrals, layers of analog synths, slinky funk guitars and tight rhythms of both the human and inhuman variety, Krgovich has been busy putting the finishing touches on his upcoming solo debut LP titled “THE LONG HOLLYWOOD BEAT” due for a Fall release this year.
He has toured extensively throughout North America and Europe with his various projects and has shared the stage with the likes of Dirty Projectors, Mirah, and frequent collaborator and bandmate Mount Eerie. In between recording and touring he has participated in a residency at the Banff Centre for the Arts, written a one-act musical for the PUSH Festival, covered Lover’s Rock in its entirety, given a lecture on Extreme Sports at Trampoline Hall, contributed songs to various film and television productions and taken his dog Sally out for countless walks around the neighbourhood.
