Butler, who is originally from the Black Country but now lives in Shropshire, creates music that pays tribute to the attitude of 1970s rock while also being deeply rooted in modern indie space. The album begins with Billy Cousins, an indie rock song that combines the casual cool of Fun Lovin&#8217; Criminals and Beck&#8217;s different magnetism. Groovy beats, minor Soul\u00a0references, and punk-inspired\u00a0guitar work set the mood for an album full of variety. I&#8217;m Happy If You&#8217;re Happy has a unique glam rock energy, combining Marc Bolan-style extravagant with Britpop elegance \u00e0 la Blur. Each track\u00a0on the album has a unique character, but Butler&#8217;s signature glam-rock\u00a0vocals bring everything together with an obvious almost sexy groove. The 1970s influences are there, but they&#8217;re reconsidered via a Britpop and indie rock lens, making the record sound both nostalgic and modern. Troubled Delight&#8217;s grooves are addictive from start to finish, whether with acoustic rhythms, electric guitar lines, or tight, funky percussion. Troubled Delight is a colorful, feel-good album\u00a0that vibrates with energy and rock\u00a0attitude, combining nostalgic inspiration with a modern indie twist. SICKY has created an album that is stylish and entertaining, ideal for fans of groovy rock music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 400px; height: 472px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=4201775436\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless><a href=\"https:\/\/sicky2.bandcamp.com\/album\/troubled-delight\">Troubled Delight by SICKY<\/a><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photo Credit: SICKY photo by Helen Marshall<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sicky2.bandcamp.com\">https:\/\/sicky2.bandcamp.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sicky333\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sicky333<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sickyb\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sickyb<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mick Butler&#8217;s solo project, SICKY, presents a cool mix of indie rock, Britpop, and glam-rock\u00a0vibes&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":26507,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14,5],"tags":[2352],"class_list":["post-26506","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop-rock-reviews","category-reviews","tag-sicky"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26506","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26506"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26506\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26508,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26506\/revisions\/26508"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26507"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26506"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26506"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
