What!? No way! The Guardian newspaper (!!!) has just featured our song Darkwave = MC Squared on their music and entertainment blog as the song of the day! That’s insane!

A Maze and Amazement album now out

Thanks to A Low Hum and Border, our brand new album, “A Maze And Amazement“, is finally out in New Zealand.

Now most bands would at this point immediately ask you to go and buy their new album. Truth be told, I couldn’t care less about persuading you to buy it. What really matters to me is that you take a chance on it and give it a few minutes of your precious time and just listen to a few songs… if you live in New Zealand, just go to any decent record store, ask to have a listen, skip to a random song, press play and close your eyes for a few minutes.

Now I know that even asking you to listen to a few songs of ours is in many ways a big favor to ask, living as we do in an era of total media over-saturation and in which the incessant clamor of the mediocre drowns out so very much. Maybe we’re ultimately just part of the static buzz, but I need to believe that this record can lift itself out of the all-pervasive fog and into someone’s very own private heart. I know it all sounds far too corny and serious at the same time, but please give this record a chance… of course it won’t be for everyone, but this record is like a child to me, and I will be loyal to it beyond reason, because that’s just what it takes to create things in a world where things fall apart so readily and without a murmur.

So… in the spirit of things, I put the entire album up on last.fm where you can stream all tracks whenever and how ever-often you like, and should you eventually decide that owning this record might contribute something valuable to your life, then you can trade your money for our creative efforts by purchasing the album in New Zealand record stores or online at amplifier.co.nz or smokecds.com.
