The keyboard, bass and drums trio don't have a guitar player, but their overwhelming sound and energy creates an atmosphere akin to a traditional loud power trio – except their music is anything but traditional. They create darkly hypnotic and frenetic music that's both rhythmically complex and sinister. If that paints any sort of aural picture, it comes as no surprise that \"Gillian,\" their homage to X-Files star Gillian Anderson, was roundly endorsed by the ex-punk actress herself on social media before the band had even played shows outside of their home country or received any support from larger press outlets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"lang-en\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeter Ruddell \u003c\/strong\u003e(26, keyboards\/vocals), \u003cstrong\u003eAmanda Cheng \u003c\/strong\u003e(26, bass\/vocals) and \u003cstrong\u003eTom Leggett\u003c\/strong\u003e (22, drums) met studying Jazz Performance at the University of Auckland, and started Wax Chattels a few years later after they'd lived in Japan, Ireland, gone to Law School and\/or performed in various other projects. Though Peter plays heavily treated keyboards in the band, he's a multi-instrumentalist that focused on sax in school. His influences range from old horror movies to the more outrageous side of live performance styles in Tokyo's music and art scene. \"We want to play shows that make people feel uncomfortable. The goal is to leave the audience feeling slightly altered, like they have experienced, not just heard or seen something.\" This is evident in the self-recorded \"Stay Disappointed,\" the band's self-recorded debut single where Peter takes the lead.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"lang-en\"\u003eFrom novels to tweets, bassist Amanda is drawn to art and writing that addresses adversity. She's influenced by recurring themes of various difficulties she has experienced in her own life, challenges she feels are overly ubiquitous in the narratives of young women of color. Her post-punk informed bass lines provide the backbone for most of the band's tracks, though when she takes the lead on \"It,\" she's unrestrained. A song about \"really fucking wanting to fuck,” \"It\" expresses that it's important to not only have more visible women in the arts – especially in genres of traditionally \"dude music\" – but also to explicitly address female sexual desires. She finds these themes are usually shrouded in subtler terms, well-dressed metaphors and cute euphemisms. Perhaps, if people hear or see these statements more, female sexuality and\/or libido could become a less shameful, \"behind close doors only\" thing. \"Slut shaming is real, prevalent, and wrong.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"lang-en\"\u003eInitially, Peter and Amanda started \u003cstrong\u003eWax Chattels\u003c\/strong\u003e by writing tracks with a drum machine before realizing the band would be more exciting with a live drummer. Tom was playing and continues to play in a feminist punk band as well as various jazz acts in Auckland. And, the one thing Tom hates the most in this world? Being stuck in traffic. By living in the city, he has an endless supply of anger to take out on the drums, which influences \u003cstrong\u003eWax Chattels’\u003c\/strong\u003e punishing aesthetic. His minimal kit propels the band like a freight train. When asked why he paired his kit down to what it is, Tom said: \"I saw a pianist play with only ten working keys and still sound great... I started following drummers such as Mark Guiliana, Paul Motian and Deantoni Parks, who all play minimal kits, and it always put me in awe when I heard how unrestricted they were by their set up.

Live, they are not to be missed. While they do come across as a \"rock\" band, it's coming from so many places so quickly that you're kind of left wondering where you're going. The opening of the one-chord tour de force “Concrete” begins in a downright frightening and jarring place and turns into an almost Krautrock-via-Suicide crescendo.

To other New Zealanders, Christchurch seems to be a desolate, xenophobic, flat city, which in the wake of a series of natural disasters is being sparsely put back together by a bunch of brutal development moguls. It's also a city with a thriving indie rock scene, unspoiled by commercial interests and held together by bands all drawing from the same small pool of members and venues.

Deeper into the record, the listener will find more attempts to understand and respond to new and old love (MARCHY, INDULGE, PIRATE), bewildered responses to the harshness and pace of being alive (LESSON, PRAISE) and ventures into the subconscious as a remedy to one’s own sense of alienation (GOOD 2 BE SLEEPING, ANTIQUE).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ben Woods","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":40013334380695,"sku":"MCVI005","price":45.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0450\/3165\/3527\/products\/BenWoods-Put.jpg?v=1721975992"},{"product_id":"beths-the-warm-blood-2016","title":"The Beths - Warm Blood (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew Pink Colour Edition \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cropable\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Beths’\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarm Blood\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e is a strong contender for the catchiest record you’ve never heard.

His latest series of albums for Grapefruit marks forty years of rigorous exploration in which he's managed to navigate disparate genres, scenes, and atmospheres, always at the forefront of experimental independent music. To commemorate, Grapefruit will be releasing four new Montgomery albums in 2021. The first instalment, Island Of Lost Souls, arrived to great acclaim in January. The second and latest album, His Best Forgotten Work, features Montgomery's rare, brooding vocals across nine gorgeous tracks recorded from his home in Christchurch, New Zealand.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThat Best Forgotten Work follows the intense, all-instrumental Island Of Lost Souls.

Two odd years and multiple odd line up changes later, the follow up ‚Spirit Lights is here to comfort and warm the cockles over these colder months. The Wellington six-piece, led by patriarch Adam Ladley, have provided us with an album that at once is a progression from its predecessor a rollicking, very developed (not to mention warm and polished sounding), and ultimately (especially towards the end) dark version of bright pop songs. Fields And Fields is propelled by an incessant drum, the melody instantly familiar and engaging. Neighbourhood is a big adult pop track with a trippy little breakdown in the middle. Moss Green Cape is an example of the type of brooding nature this band can take on kind of like a more lively Unbelievable Truth. The Family Cactus sweet spot sits somewhere between desolate and dreamy. Witness the darker afflicted closing four tracks from Dark Science to Spirit Lights. Throughout, the musicality is undeniable, this is an enduring and alluring album. Recorded by Jordan Stone at Roundhead and Lee PrebbleThe Surgery and mastered at Sterling Sound in New York.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNZ Musician\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- Shaun Chait\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack List:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFields And Fields\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmpty Nest Egg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeighbourhood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoss Green Cape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLake Abe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbe Mistake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark Science\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhole \u0026amp; Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDragon Flies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpirit Lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Family Cactus","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":40408726536343,"sku":"AHR049","price":20.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0450\/3165\/3527\/products\/famcac.jpg?v=1623899180"},{"product_id":"copy-of-surf-friends-dreams-are-real-2015","title":"Surf City - Kudos (CD)","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"Apple-style-span\"\u003eOn their new full-length,\u003cstrong\u003e Kudos, Surf City\u003c\/strong\u003e remains preoccupied with the college rock sounds of yesteryear.
