Mice On Stilts - King Of The Sadboys - Gitbox Rebellion

MICE ON STILTS

From humble beginnings in a small flat in Auckland, New Zealand, comes a seven piece collaboration. Mice On Stilts is a band that traverses genre distinctions to create their own sound, described by one reviewer as “a sombre, subtle and slow-to-grow opus that virtually exudes a cinematic aura others of their kind often only allude to.”

From these ominous beginnings, the track builds, slowly but majestically. The drums come in, chords hang like echoes in the rafters of a cathedral, and I think of a word not often uttered when describing New Zealand music: epic. - RNZ

The music billows past on clouds of austere beauty, a widescreen vista of shades of sadness that make the album a compelling mood-piece. - Metro Magazine
