Summer Thieves return with their new single, ‘Saturday Night’. Leaning into the indie-rock aspect of their sound, the track is built around a bassline that sticks with you.
Co-written with Joel Shadbolt & Brad Kora (L.A.B) ‘Saturday Night’ showcases the mature sound of Summer Thieves’ upcoming second album. Staying true to the band’s indie-rock roots, the track has been tested live in arenas across NZ, and is an instantly memorable ode to the weekend.
Set for release this November, their new album Paradise Down The Road showcases a growing maturity in a band that are a staple of the live music scene. Moving effortlessly across rock, pop, blues & funk, the album further establishes Summer Thieves as one of NZ’s most exciting musical talent.
Rhian Sheehan returns with Recollections, Vol. 1, a collection of some of his finest work, alongside never-before-released tracks. Across 28 tracks, the release shows the journey of NZ’s most acclaimed composer across a long & varied career. Full album out April 24, 2020.

"Reissued after being unavailable for nearly 20 years, inside a quiet mind remains a cultural taonga, a musical time capsule that sends the listener hurtling straight back to the earliest flowerings of the New Zealand rave scene." - Sunday Star Times
As vital as it sounded upon it's initial release in 1998, this classic album will be available both digitally and on vinyl for the first time.

Speaking to problems which are prevalent not only locally, but also across the world, 'Tell Me' asks us one important question, "what the hell are we supposed to do?"

"Pristine vocals and deft synth-pop production in perfect unison. Synth-pop duo Chambres vindicate their name magically on Rings, spinning together pristine vocals, masterful production & rolling it all down a dark, cavernous hall." - HHHHappy
The latest edition to New Zealand's alternative music scene came to be when production wiz Gregorio, sick of selling trap beats to Soundcloud rappers for $10 a pop, knew he needed a constant vocalist to take his sound to the next level.
Lucy, his Facebook friend/real-life-sort-of-acquaintance posted a cover of David Bowie's "Heroes" alongside strumming a ukulele. A lightbulb went off, and a message was sent to Lucy. After months of phone calls, cross-island flights and Skype writing sessions, the body of work started to take shape, and Chambres was born.
A brand of indie pop with pumping beats that smack you over the face, and vocals which then lull you into another land.

Out August 14, 2015. All info & links at: http://loop.co.nz/releases/brother-sun-single
Electric Wire Hustle have teamed up with Kiwi songstress Kimbra for ‘Brother Sun’, available now on Loop & Bastard Jazz. The single is taken from the forthcoming ‘Aeons EP’, which is available for pre-order.
‘Brother Sun’ showcases the continued progression of Electric Wire Hustle, and their ever evolving sound, pushing the boundaries of electronic music into a psychedelic-soul realm. A pulsating drum beat which dances around the unmistakable voice of Kimbra.
The single release of ‘Brother Sun’ features a version of the track by Rodi Kirk and Aron Ottignon. These two European-based NZ artists have been working together over the past year creating a unique and compelling fusion of Aron’s virtuosic jazz piano with avant-garde electronic music and sound design.
For their version of ‘Brother Sun’, the two have taken a live band approach featuring steel pan from Londoner Samuel Dubois and bass from former Jamiroquai member Nick Fyfe. The resulting sound is a bouncy piano-driven dancefloor jam which references 70’s disco and jazz, along with Rodi’s modern production elements. A big dart to that!
