Fizzle Like A Flood

Fizzle Like A Flood is the brainchild of Nebraska-based musician Doug Kabourek, a veteran of the 1990s indie-pop band Mercuri. After Mercuri disbanded, Kabourek embraced a scrappier, DIY aesthetic under this solo moniker, blending jangly power-pop hooks with lo-fi charm and a playful nod to 1960s psychedelia. His work often feels like a quirky love letter to retro pop craftsmanship, delivered with warm tape hiss and analog warmth.

Operating within Omaha’s storied indie scene (home to Saddle Creek Records alumni), Fizzle Like A Flood has released a string of cult-favorite albums and EPs since the late ’90s, including the cozy bedroom-pop of *The Love LP*, the fuzzed-out *Golden Sand And The Grandstand*, and the more recent *Stage Door* series, which leans into theatrical, narrative-driven rock. Tracks like those on *Flash Paper Queen - The 4-Track Demos* highlight Kabourek’s knack for balancing brevity with big melodies, while projects like *Wildflowers* and *Choice Kills Response* showcase his restless genre-hopping between concise pop gems and ambitious conceptual detours.
