Its debut 5-track EP, “Solace”, was mixed by Trevor Reilly (A Wilhelm Scream) and is featuring guest vocals from Tom West (Darko). “Solace” was officially released on major streaming platforms on October 22nd 2022.
Tom comments: “The EP’s goal, and more globally Ubik’s, is to have its listeners take a step back to think. Solace begins with a very broad, theoretical question (do we have free will, or is the Universe determined?). It then gradually closes up by focusing on our political and social system’s democratic character (or lack thereof), before moving on to our relationship to each other and ourselves. I guess I just talked about what’s already in my head all the time.”
