Olumpus Share New Album 'Caucus'

Tāmaki Makaurau-based noiseniks Olumpus, helmed by Stefan Neville (Pumice) with Kraus, have unleashed Caucus, a wig-flipping companion album to February's Surplus featuring a plethora of guest collaborators from across the globe. Artists lending their talents to the 14 track opus include Trendees frontman Matt Plunkett on three songs, Demarnia Lloyd-Harris (Cloudboy, Mink), Richard Youngs, Cutts aka Sjionel Timu (Coolies), Dan Melchior, Indira Neville (Biscuits), Ducklingmonster (Futurians), Jade Farley, Mr Sterile and Liz Matthews (Hex). Caucus also sees the long-awaited release of the super catchy 'Rotting In My Room', co-sung by Bek Coogan (Oonaverse, Cortina), which was an infectious yet maddeningly un-locatable local student radio staple a year or so ago.

Lovers of the ear-tickling and mind-frying sonics on display will be no-doubt stoked to hear Stefan Neville is playing a special live event with NZ punk and DIY figurehead Chris Knox, performing "stylophone & bongos versions of the first Tall Dwarfs EP" together next Thursday at Point Chevalier Library.
