Ōtepoti noise-grunge outfit Dale Kerrigan have announced a nationwide tour to celebrate the release of their upcoming sophomore album, The Water, out soon via trace / untrace. The title track, released today, is a slow, sludge-rock track which grows steadily to its noisy, encompassing climax, paired with a visualiser by Joel Field.
Dale Kerrigan is the brainchild of musician Shlee Nicholls (Mary Berry, Flesh Bug), alongside her mates Joel Field (Porpoise), Connor Blackie (Koizilla, Adelaide Cara), and Josh Nicholls (Koizilla, Fazed on a Pony, Asta Rangu, Space Bats Attack et al.) For Shlee, the band forms a response to the “ugly boy singing noise” stereotype, by way of combining her penchant for chunky riffage and free roaming noise with lyrics that speak directly from a woman’s perspective.
Don't miss their upcoming spring tour, and be sure to support them on Bandcamp.
