Some Reviews
"It is a rare song that can be played two or three times in a row, each listen revealing layer upon layer of musical goodness. Neil of Diamonds is such a song and it could evolve into a genuine Kiwi classic... A spa-rling debut."
Paul Easton - Marlborough Express, 4 stars
“Classic Indie pop sound. Steven Tait’s guitars luxuriate in a deep warm bath of distortion – recalls great offshore bands such as The Go-Betweens, Pavement or Dinosaur Jnr”
Sunday Star Times – 4/5
“Simple Guitar pop that’s easy on the ears”.
Pulp Magazine – 3/5
Hey Spa, thanks for the addage. Sorry it's taken a bit to comment you, it's just that we do all our own promo, so we're pretty busy hey. But it's paying off, a lot of people have been listening to Devil's Hand and leaving us some good feedback. Anywho, thanks again. Make sure you come by our site, have a listen and say hello :)
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.
