Music News - Unexpected Aotearoa-adventure births alt-folk album 'Going for Broke' on 18th September
03 September 2020 - 0 Comments
Locked down in a Paekakariki paradise after their debut 40 gig International tour, alt-folk duo Good Habits capture their collection of genre-bending folk-fusion creations.
Good Habits are a UK alt-folk duo, telling stories and turning heads across the globe. Composed of singer-cellist Bonnie Schwarz and accordionist Pete Shaw, Good Habits create folk-infused songs that test the limits of their traditional instruments.
With a core sound that balances the string instrumentals of The Moulettes and the emotional candor of Kate Bush, Good Habits continue to add new layers to their already distinctive sound.
With ambition and versatility at the centre of their philosophy, Good Habits launched their duo project in October 2019. The standing-singing-dancing band embarked on a 40 show tour across New Zealand, wowing audiences across the length and breadth of the country in the process. Covid-19 left them stranded in New Zealand, but thanks to the warmth and support of new friends, they have made the most of NZ’s triumphant recovery. During their hibernation in Paekakariki, they captured the collection of songs from their travels; Going For Broke represents their leap of faith as Good Habits pursue their musical dreams on the other side of the world.
As nomadic musicians, the songs revolve around themes of travels and encounters, from See How the Evening Goes (about the spark that provoked the duo’s big adventure) through to Racing the Hour Hand (embodying the urgency found within their creative process). The album adds more stories to the duo’s growing scrapbook of musical adventures, augmenting their irreplaceable live performance in adventurous arrangements featuring guest musicians from across the globe.
