Silk Cut

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.

“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)

To these characteristics ’O u r P l a c e I n T h e S t a r s ’ adds pace , weight , and progressive overtones, engendering a live experience for both body and mind.
