Paekākāriki based In the Shallows featuring Welsh singer-songwriter Danni Davis, hits home in the punchy new track Do You? - an ode to the shared experience of what it is to be human.

Channeling her inner Prince, Davis co-produces, performs guitar, bass, keys, percussion and all vocals on her first solo outing. She also produced and directed the music video.

Davis reflects that Do You? is about the breakdown of relationships, the grief that ensues and the determination to pick yourself back up again, learn from your mistakes, heal and move forward.

“Wanting honesty and mutual accountability, but not getting it because of another person's denial, unwillingness and/or inability.

I believe there are great gifts on the other side of avoidance and the lies we tell ourselves and others, if we can have the courage to face our fears and demons.”

From a folk duo playing small shows in every corner of Aotearoa to main stage festivals, the evolution to an eclectic and intentionally poppier sound has transpired.

Do You? featuring Wellington's dream popster and co-producer Module on beats and electric guitar, had its final production done by Steve Rokosh who has also crafted the upcoming album, promising an uplifting journey whilst also pulling on your heart strings.

Steve’s clients include Emmylou Harris, Sass Jordan, Ruben Young and Jocelyn Alice. He has also scored music for ABC Family, Electronic Arts and Universal Music.

Module is the name under which Wellington-based New Zealand musician Jeramiah Ross has released his work since 2003. He composes and produces Electronic, Downtempo, Ambient, and Classical music. Ross has released several albums and has contributed to soundtracks of video games such as Shatter and Robot Unicorn Attack 2.

In The Shallows will celebrate the release of Do You? at St Peter’s Hall, Paekākāriki on October 12th. The concert will be filmed for the new streaming platform Mood.
