A Christchurch duo of singer/ drummer Nick Gaffaney and former Weta guitarist Aaron Tokona, Cairo Knife Fight somehow manage to kick up as much ruckus as six men on this bold and bracing four-track E.P. Big Face melds tribal drums and paint-stripping Led Zep-style riffery to great effect, while beautifully-sung standout track All I Ever Wanted rises and falls like a stormy sea as Gaffaney delivers a falsetto ode to a troubled relationship over chiming guitars. Rock music this epic and soulful comes rarely.
