In The Shallows - Single Review: Take It Easy

03 Oct 2020 // A review by Shade

The opening lyrics set the scene well for this charming little number - "I can't help but wonder is this the only way? Get so caught up in the drama that we forget to play." The aptly titled Take It Easy by intriguing Wellington act In The Shallows is a song for the ages and one which is unlikely to ever go out of fashion. 

With a cruisy vibe, mesmerising vocals and relatable lyrics, this harmonious track is exactly what many of us need to hear. It's as though it's been designed with relaxation in mind, while encouraging the listener to look at the bigger picture.

Take It Easy is a distinctive and organic acoustic track; full of character and with a classic style that is sure to stand the test of time. Each member of In The Shallows is an accomplished musician, and this track shows that not only are they capable of creating compelling music; they also have a strong musical connection with one another.

Rating: ( 4 / 5 )

Maggie Cocco's Science for Sociopaths - Gig Review: Maggie Cocco @ Lopdell Theatre, Tititrangi - 22/11/2023
27 Nov 2023 // by Shade
Whatever came out of the pandemic, it stranded some amazing talent here long enough for them to enrich our musical world. Down into the Lopdell labyrinth, a buzz of age-spanning expectancy waited for two of these: Maggie Cocco and her accompanist for the tour Bonnie Schwarz who would add much more than just ‘sad cello’ to tonight’s epic cycle of piano songs.

Eve Kelly @ Jam Factory, Tauranga - 03/03/2023
08 Mar 2023 // by Shade
The ‘Sold Out’ sign is a good sign and it went up several days before Eve Kelly’s first show at The Jam Factory in Tauranga’s Historic Village. Whakatane-based Eve Kelly is a star on-the-rise and she put on a show that left her audience, old and new, elated and begging for more.

Coridian - Single Review: Seed II
21 Oct 2020 // by Shade
There's an implicit line in Rock music between the head-banging craze that makes you want to raid the mosh pit, and the refined preciseness of a subtle yet powerful tune. Very few bands can master both.

Channeled - Single Review: Deeper
06 Aug 2019 // by Shade
Sometimes life gets to the point where we can have trouble standing on our own two feet. The headache-inducing stresses of life can knock the breath right out from our lungs, while we struggle to retain some sense of normality.
