Albi & The Wolves - Album Review: One Eye Open
In bustling cities and the ever-changing world of westernization and gentrification, we often find ourselves too caught up in time, unable to appreciate the more peaceful moments in life.
Well, it just so happened that it was luckily a sunny day on Auckland's west coast, when I decided to listen to an album that seemed to slow down time itself and allowed me to fully immerse myself in the nature around me.
After two years of hard work, it is very pleasing to hear that well-travelled and well-heard band Albi & The Wolves have released their debut album, One Eye Open.
The album starts off with a simple but melodic song, Giants In The Sky and progresses to the rapid upbeat country groove of their main hit One Eye Open. The album combines folk and country elements with Albi’s soaring vocals and the sways of the electric fiddle to make an album that pushes your desires to travel and feel at peace.
Albi says that their aim to is to take listeners on a journey with their music, and with a confident 10 out of 10 rating, I can say they safely did that to the best it could be.
After listening to this album, I can really only sum it up by calling it musical food for the soul. Albi & the Wolves will kick their One Eye Open tour off in Kingsland’s Nectar Bar on 9 December 2016, and I’ll be there for sure to hear their sweet new tunes in the flesh.

New Zealand has been legendary for having sibling-based bands, with the likes of prolific musicians The Finn Brothers way back and more recently The Nielson Brothers. And as 2016 comes to a close, it seems like a new set of brothers is taking New Zealand’s Indie-Pop scene by storm: The Thomas Brothers.

It was a stressful week in the life of a student, studying for exams, earning enough to stay anchored in the big smoke. When Sunday rolled around and the time came to finally relax, some dream-like tones were needed to smile, sit back, and relax.
