Yesterday we were saddened to learn Elred Stebbing had passed away in the weekend. Amplifier staff send their condolences to Eldred's family and friends.
Salmonella Dub are doing some warm up shows prior to their New Years Eve concert, Auckland's ZooMusic is back for another summer with six shows this year and finally on the touring side of the tracks Hikoikoi are taking their brand of reggae up North for a series of gigs.
Before we leap headfirst into today's featured release for those of you who like to draw, the David Dallas Something Awesome competition might appeal.
Release Of The Week
Signer - Next We Bring You The Fire
"Like all the best albums, Next We Bring You The Fire is a grower, with delights to discover long into the future." - Scott Kara, NZ Herald ****
Signer (Bevan Smith) finally ends the five year drought drenching us in an album of songs soaked in love and joy.
With Next We Bring You The Fire, Signer has somehow merged dreamy and hypnotic analog shoegaze, ambient techno and nineties rave anthems with a modern pop sophistication.
May the good sounds be yours.
