Silk Cut with Haiku Redo
Auckland quartet Silk Cut indulge their affection for early nineties shoe gaze, dream-pop and indie rock with a live presentation following the recent release of their album ‘Our Place In The Stars’.
Silk Cut is fronted by seasoned tunesmith and guitarist Andrew Thorne, with Justin McLean (guitar/vocals), Aidan Phillips (bass/vocals), and Jayden Lee
(drums). The bedrock of two guitars, bass and drums features against a simple backdrop of keyboard washes and effects.
“I can see me listening to this again, and for many years to come. A new Kiwi staple.
Five of five stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“ Muzic.net.nz
“Dreamy landscapes framed by crystalline, shimmering guitars”, with “Indelible melodies”...”buttressed by an extra-terrestrial spaced out psychedelia” (Backseat Mafia),
“The reverberating guitar, the consistent background synth, and rock ’n’ roll type drums carve out a landscape of ’70s and ’80s synth-pop but with a modern ethereal, and dreamy twist.”
(NZ Musician)
“Songs with sounds inspired by the likes of Ride, The Church, Radiohead, Swervedriver, and Slowdive.”
(Hamilton Underground Press)
Joining Silk Cut are indie pop-rock band Haiku Redo featuring Andrew Fagan's London rhythm section and Dianne Swann on guitar.
