NZ Art Rock band Sheeps are set to release their debut album Working the Machine through AAA Records in April 2024. In an age of growing disquiet over technology’s advancement, Sheeps’ first single, Generation I, dutifully captures this sentiment, channeling it into five-and-a-half-minutes of their own high-tempo, guitar-driven brand of Art Rock.

Listen to Generation I here

Born from frontperson Dean Blackwell’s concern for the young generation of guinea pigs in a technological new world order and backed by an unrelenting Indie-Rock-with-a-DnB-feel from the rhythm section, the guitars drone with an incessance that speaks to the constant exposure to content and throat-stuffing of advertisements, and Blackwell sings, with a jaded cynicism, of a hammering self-centredness which sees these youngsters develop a habit of oversharing to the point of indecency to an imagined global audience.
