Unknown - Single Review: Up
Broke: the feeling that most of us in the post-student world will feel for almost the rest of our lives. Also a double bass wielding band from Wellington with a “whatever, we do what we want” attitude.
The debut single from the band, Up, can be described as jazzy, snazzy, and super groovy, kind of like that band Supergroove. It’s something about that Kiwi twang that reminds me of that one song Supergroove did, with more of an alt rock spin, and less hip-hop. Not an especially fair comparison, Brøke’s sound is pretty unique when you take it as a whole.
It’s like a reformed version of London’s grimy side. Only fun. There’s a whimsical jam band feel to the track, with a bit more structure than you’d expect from a jam band.
Enjoy the single and keep an ear out for the forthcoming debut Do Not Consume.
You can find Brøke on Facebook, Youtube or The Audience.

Ra Charmian - Album Review: Waiata Wairua
08 Oct 2024 // by Peter-James Dries
Waiata Wairua is an album that wouldn’t feel out of place performed in a late night jazz hall in some alternate history where the successes of the Maori battalion lead to a proliferation of Te Reo worldwide. The sort of interest that saw your dad singing in French in the 60's, when Mireille Mathieu was knocking about.

You know that thing where the letter B has a personality, or words have textures and colours? That’s called synaesthesia.

Yurt Party - Album Review: Yurt Party
07 Sep 2023 // by Peter-James Dries
It sure isn't summer, and this is really not the Balkans, but Yurt Party’s new self-titled album refutes that. Back with another one of them Balkan rocking beats, Yurt Party’s debut is jazzy, erratic, and full of zest and energetic grooves, with flavour notes of ska, dub, and bergamot.

day13n - Album Review: /7/13/7/

I’m too old for this world. We’ve devolved to the point where music is only as good as the soundtrack to your 10 second TikTok, and the thirty thousand copies recycling the idea.
