Thomas Oliver Band - Baby I'll Play

Wellington 5-piece The Thomas Oliver Band have spent the past few years touring and playing live throughout New Zealand with the likes of Fat Freddy's Drop, Gin Wigmore and Britain's Oli Brown. Within this time the band have also written and recorded their debut full-length album 'Baby, I'll Play'.

"From the sexy, dirty blues/rock of 'Nothing Left' and 'In My Bones' to the glorious, perfect-pop balladry of 'A Letter', Every Penny is flawless. This is just the beginning. If you do not know who they are, watch this space: they are simply too good to stay underground for much longer."

Dudley Benson - Forest: Songs By Hirini Melbourne

So, inspired by his love for the waiata of the renowned composer Hirini Melbourne (Ngāi Tūhoe, Ngāti Kahungunu), Benson arranged his own interpretations of Melbourne’s bird songs and in late 2010 announced their release as Forest: Songs by Hirini Melbourne.

Recorded almost entirely with only the human voice and sung largely in te reo Māori, Forest tells the stories of New Zealand’s native birds through seven vividly textured pop pieces that exist somewhere between the traditions of folksong and barbershop, choral anthem and hip hop. Produced by Benson, recorded by Hollay and mastered by Parnell, the album features a bold contingent of guest artists including close-harmony vocal quartet The Dawn Chorus, reigning Aotearoa beatbox champion King Homeboy, and legendary folk matriarch Vashti Bunyan.
