L.A. native Nicky Blitz, born Nick Scapa, cut his teeth in Miami, where he attended the University of Miami and was a cog in some songwriting machines, penning tunes for films, TV shows, ad agencies and other artists. [See this interesting narrative.] His polyglot tastes (and talents) are on display on the new, self-released “Hawk” EP, which rolls up a little retro rock ānā roll, electro-pop, slacker fun and even a folk ballad into a sweet mini-opus. “Alex” (previously posted) even has a little banjo, but you should be won over by the slightly-Spoon-like title track and the party-with-your-parents anthem “Alive.” If Scapa does indeed have seventy-something songs at the ready, it’d be great to hear more. Soon.
