What do you get when you mix dark pop, DIY creativity, and a nickname unrelated to illness? You get SICKY—aka Mick Butler—and a wonderfully offbeat, brilliantly musical conversation with Graham Coath on this week’s MyMusic Podcast.
In this episode, Graham and Mick get into the origins of the SICKY moniker, reminisce about cassette players and misheard names, and dive deep into the making of SICKY's latest album Trouble, Delight—a punchy, percussion-heavy, 30-minute sonic burst full of character, humour, and a healthy dose of kitchen-sink creativity.
✨ Expect:
Field recordings from shopping centre sliding doors and bell towers
Children accidentally producing future bangers
Satirical undertones, quirky grooves, and a little bit of Prince-inspired magic
Conversations about identity, influence, and the pure joy of making music without overthinking it
Oh, and you’ll never listen to church bells or sliding doors the same way again.
📀 Favourite track insight: “I’m Happy If You’re Happy” – the unofficial anthem of joyful spontaneity and possibly the most accidental single of the year.
🎧 Whether you’re a music nerd, a producer, or just someone who misses the chaos of MySpace, this episode is packed with warmth, wit, and wisdom. Dive in, discover SICKY, and don’t forget to check out sickyb.com for all his latest sounds and visuals.
