8 piece Brisbane Polynesian ‘soul, reggae, dub’ band Chocolate Strings are heading over the ditch and back to New Zealand, this time they bring their much anticipated follow-up album with a bunch of launches strung around the North Island.

Heading up their powerful vocal harmonies are three South Pacific Islander singers: Ofa Fanaika, Nia Falekakala and Nicole Loa McWalters from Tonga and Papua New Guinea respectively.

Their latest album ‘………’ represents exactly why Chocolate Strings have become the go-to party starters and festival favourites – pulsing reggae grooves tapped with dreamy neo-soul arrangements all while strongly focused on melodic harmonies. This is the record those who have witnessed a Strings show have been itching for.

Recorded in the bands home of West End at Tanuki Lounge by Lord Tanuki Paulie B (The Beautiful Girls, george), it is a significant collection of songs that showcases Chocolate Strings' penchant for experimenting with a blend of music genres.
