Wellington indie-pop quartet The Sproutts are proud to announce the release of their brand new album:
WOMAN, MAN, AND MACHINE!
"...jam packed with golden indie rock gems..." (Rip It Up)
"...Their engaging, offbeat, unmistakably Kiwi candour is to the fore in a 14-track album laced with winning pop songs performed with unaffected earnestness..." 4 stars (Otago Daily Times)
"...an alluringly organic, quirky and melodic strain of smart-pop...distinctive, peppy and highly entertaining" (New Zealand Musician)
"...super-cute.....a checkpoint of contemporary New Zealand pop..." 8/10 (Under The Radar)
...pretty magnificent...positively fetching...dashing pop songs....at their best can even take on the hallowed Brill Building set... (William Dart, Concert FM, New Horizons)
I like to recline naked on the pub carpet in front of the pub fire with a dampened sheet of toilet paper affixed to each shoulder to cover my unruly shoulder hairs. Join me.
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.
