Press Release:

While playing alt-country influenced acoustic music with his sister in law, Stephen (the Haints of Dean Hall/The Subliminals), raised with Richard his concern that he might never use his mesa boogie amp and make rock music again. Some time later, a group of friends was mutually assembled, based around the notion of playing at higher volumes.

Songs were written around simple guitar riffs, left for complex exploration by the rhythm section of Jared (The Subliminals/Theives) and Jasper (Meterman). The resulting tunes were played at a small number of local venues, before the group recorded this first collection of songs.

The seven songs of the Invention EP were recorded in a single day by the band and Nich Cunningham (Black Door Studios). Long time collaborator Tex Houston (The Clean, Subliminals, 3ds etc) mixed and mastered the tracks in his Dunedin studio.

Faults are Stephen Reay, Richard Worrall, Jared Johanson, Jasper de Roos.
