Image pinched off the NZ Herald website Young Blood by The Naked And Famous The NZ Music Awards just took place an hour or two back (it’s night time there as I write), and I was so pleased to see that a couple of the artists who did so well also happen to be on [...]

The genre spanner 1
I’ve recently been asked to review albums for Bandcamp. In fact, I’ve been employed to be THE reviewer for Bandcamp. I’m very excited about that. And not just a little nervous. If you’re not aware of Bandcamp, it’s an online platform for independent musicians on which to showcase and release their recordings. That image above [...]

A week at Camp Bandcamp 3
I’m in San Francisco this week. Or rather, I’m near San Francisco. I’m in a place called Inverness, which is right by Point Reyes, just north of San Francisco. I’m here with the team from Bandcamp, who have invited me over to be part of their staff retreat. Bandcamp’s a web service that helps musicians [...]

Five O’Clock Shadowboxers – Broken Clocks 0
No Fury (Zilla Rocca Remix) by 5 O’Clock Shadowboxers I am really loving this. Received an email from one of the band members and really liked the description, so I thought I’d give the World Circuit vinyl a rest for a minute and have a listen. Really glad I did. It’s “experimental hip hop for [...]

April – Hope & Social 0
April by Hope and Social Listen to this fantastic album by some Northern friends of mine. Give them the price of a loaf of bread, and they’ll send you the compact disc in a beautiful gatefold CD wallet (may contain actual flower seeds). That also includes immediate download of the 10-track album in your choice [...]

Bandcamp du jour: Buffalo – The Phoenix Foundation 0
Eventually by The Phoenix Foundation More kiwi pop – and today it’s the eagerly awaited new Phoenix Foundation album that came out yesterday. I love that important, popular and significant New Zealand bands are using Bandcamp more and more to release their music. It’s fast becoming the default method – and rightly so. This is [...]

Bandcamp du jour: The Overflow – Humphreys and Keen 0
Bright Shining Star by Humphreys & Keen Thought it was about time I ‘du joured’ my favourite NZ album ever – and one of my top 5 records of all time. Need I say more? The Overflow by Humphreys and Keen is, in my humble opinion, a stone cold masterpiece, a beautiful record – and [...]

Bandcamp du jour: Safe in the Steep Hills – Emancipator 0
greenland by emancipator Really nice downbeat, trip-hoppy instrumental stuff from Portland. This is perfect ‘Sunday morning after one of those Saturday nights’ music – but breaks the mold a little by actually being interesting, rather than just wallpaper. There are some moments direct from ambient, chill-out lounge compilation territory, but actually this hangs together really [...]
