Sharkweek is proud to announce the launch of his new album, "Egyptian Lions".
The new album offers lush soundscapes punctuated with surreal samples, playful melodies and manipulated found sounds. The musical themes drift between ambient, pop and dub.
Spheres of inspiration include outerspace, all manner of pop culture, and infomercials. Musical influence comes from varied sources such as The Orb, Future Sound Of London, Orbital, Boards Of Canada, Lemon Jelly, Astralasia, and Banco de Gaia. This eclectic mix, coupled with some stellar guest appearances from other musicians makes for an evocative and sometimes surprising listening experience.
"A mystical journey through lands afar ... trippy soundscapes, psychedelic ambient dub, futuristic space adventures and glitchy electro pop .. an ear orgasm of sounds that twist and turn evolving into a collection of songs that is intriguing, beautiful and a dose of epic electro trippiness."

Little Pictures (WGTN)
This will be their final New Zealand show before their Australian tour… "Little Pictures are Johanna Freeman and Mark Turner. They live in Wellington together where they play electronic pop music and hang out on the internet. Some people call them cute, but they're actually bad to the bone! Having been recently signed to Lil' Chief Records, the next few months will see Little Pictures release their debut album "Owl + Owl", which they will be touring throughout New Zealand and Australia."
Heat like Me (WGTN)
"At just one year old, Heat Like Me have received an overwhelmingly positive response from the local and international music community. In April 2008, the group opened sales of their debut EP, titled "You Want It." The EP captures the warmth and spontaneity of the band's live performance, combining electronic drums and analogue synthesisers with pop vocals. "
