From viral hit to international long-player: Nickless announces new
album "Cars And Things That Go" for May 22, 2026
ZURICH - Nickless is no longer a local insider tip. With over half a million
followers and a rapidly growing global fanbase, the Zurich-based
multi-instrumentalist is now underpinning his international status: on May 22, 2026, his new
album "Cars And Things That Go". On February 13, the single "As I Am" will provide a
first taste of the artist's unmistakable sound.
The path to this album was characterized by massive organic growth. Especially the
single "Don't Stop The Car" marked a turning point: a viral live clip catapulted the
song into playlists worldwide one year after its release. Today, Nickless has over 328,000
monthly listeners on Spotify - his music is streamed from Europe to South East Asia and
South America.
80s vibe meets honest melancholy
"Cars And Things That Go" is the result of an intense period of processing. Nickless
dispenses with an artificial master plan and instead focuses on authenticity. The songs
move in a modern synth-pop guise with strong 80s influences and
timeless at the same time.Thematically, the album captures moments of passing: Encounters, break-ups and
reflections, which Nickless sets to music with a fine, approachable melancholy.International focus and live presence
The fact that Nickless is ready for the big stages was recently proven not only by spectacular
actions - such as a performance at a height of 120 meters on a hot air balloon - but above all through
sold-out headline club shows in Germany and Austria. The new album now acts
as a logical consequence of this development and opens the door for the next big
international step.
