A LOUNGE SUITE OF CRUSHED VELVET SOUND
Recliner formed in 2004 to create music that leant towards the cinematic & evocative. A band packed with song writing & visual arts talent, it was a cocktail waiting to be mixed, a lounge suite of crushed velvet sound waiting to be slept on.
Seasons passed as songs & demos piled up on the sideboard, the live show was allowed out with great flourish. Steady recording took the band underground during the winter of 2005, they emerged again with the release of their debut album REST ROOM in April 2006. It was received enthusiastically, the album being dubbed “Moody, Dark Pop” by reviewers. It collected a couple of international awards, a handful of nominations, charted on a swag of College Radio stations in North America and picked up licensing deals to MTV USA along with several other Networks. The sofa had been slept on and the REST ROOM had exhausted its occupancy… it was time to create another space...
Building on the low-lit interior sounds of their 2006 debut album REST ROOM, Recliner have recently completed album 2. Working from scratch with Producer Dave Holmes the band have explored a steeper landscape, exiting the REST ROOM & wandering the exteriors of their imaginations.
LONELY GIRL is the first track to fall mid OCT 08.
Album lands early 2009.
RECLINER REST ROOM
"Recliner"s songs have a dark, hypnotic beauty that breeze along on mellow atmospheric guitars, poignant keys and gentle beats...
Everything from the jagged guitars to the ambling drums and warm synths is expertly captured to give a haunting, dreamy effect..."
NZ HERALD - Rebecca Barry
"...a collection of ten painfully beautiful languid pop songs... Recliner combines deep layers of crisp instrumentation with distinctly smooth yet weighty female vocals courtesy of lead singer Belinda Bradley "You've got hands that touch but theres no feeling" she sings on opening track Ugly before it soars into sonic soundscape bliss
RIP IT UP - Phil Bostwick
"In fact, the sonic layering on display throughout the album is nearly as much of a highlight as the sultry vocals of the two singers...reminiscent of the Bristol trip hop bands Massive Attack and Portishead.
