Lontalius - It's Not Love
Sounds like: Oliver Tank, Lastlings, East of Here
By Tom Hay on Mar 27, 2016 | Eddie Johnston was clearly giddy to have such a receptive crowd at his small album release show in Auckland on Thursday night, but when it came time to play, he picked a spot on the ceiling at which to sing in lieu of making eye contact with any of t... read more →

Kwabs - Fight For Love
Sounds like: S O H N, Bruno Mars, Michael Jackson, Sam Smith, Banks
By Tom Hay on May 13, 2015 | When Kwabs’ newest single “Fight for Love” showed up on my feed, I was confused. Hadn’t he already released that song? Not quite: a former release was titled “Pray for Love,” and the difference in title coincides with the difference in tone; while “P... read more →

Loston - Drown
Sounds like: Flume, Willow Beats, Ta-ku, Guerre
By Tom Hay on Aug 26, 2014 | Loston isn’t one of those producers who’ll throw together a track in an afternoon. Each of the Perth-based producer’s few releases have been meticulously fine-tuned. He smooths over any perception of their individual working parts until he can prese... read more →

The Phoenix Foundation - Bob Lennon John Dylan
Sounds like: Liam Finn, Franz Ferdinand, Tame Impala
By Tom Hay on May 17, 2014 | The Phoenix Foundation has been my favorite New Zealand band for a while, and that surely has something to do with their ability to avoid formula with a sort of endearing nonchalance. This a band that can deliver psychedelic introspection and tongue... read more →

Sharon Van Etten - Every Time The Sun Comes Up
Sounds like: Daughter, Wye Oak, Feist, Patti Smith, Florence + The Machine
By Tom Hay on Apr 30, 2014 | Sharon Van Etten has one of those weary voices that infects each of her songs with an irresistible pain, but it's a pain rarely worn on her sleeve.Her latest song really plays to this skill. The median tone of "Every Time The Sun Comes Up" could be d... read more →
