Local multi-instrumentalist Joe Kaptein (The Circling Sun, Princess Chelsea, Nathan Haines) returns with his latest full length album, Pool Sharks, which is also the debut release on the new label Jandal Records, to be released on October 3rd.
The tunes were recorded across 2024 with some of his frequent collaborators, who are collectively known as the band Pool Sharks. The follow up to 2024's groove-driven Eternal Afternoon, this set is a mellow, languid, cruisy listen. Opening with the fractalesque ponds of new agey, high class jazz ambiance (UTR) of lead single Sleepy Space Cadet, through to the swampy, spaced-out album closer Cascade, the debut Pool Sharks album is a curious cocktail of vintage keyboards, reed instruments, glittering percussion, held down by a rock-solid rhythm section. The group will be exploring works from the LP, performing the album in full - along with other selections of Joe's compositions, across two nights in an intimate, immersive new venue on Karangahape Road.
Limited edition LPs will be available for purchase on the night. No door sales, get in quick, tickets limited!
