Description
2nd album from Dunedin, NZ trio, dripping sundazed melody through a shifting haze of fuzzy, chiming guitars, shimmering strings, and vocal harmonies. Part past, part future... the Cosmic Radio Station is on air.
Notes
Beamed into the Pacific ether from a woolshed and a tumbledown house perched on the hills above Port Chalmers during a period of heightened solar flare and aurora activity, this is an album dripping sundazed melody through a shifting haze of fuzzy, chiming guitars, shimmering strings, and vocal harmonies. The cosmic radio station is on air. Tune in… turn on… pop out.
"a psychedelic shoegaze trio whose promising second album suggests there may finally be an heir to those pioneering bands who first laid down the Dunedin Sound back 30 years ago..." Shindig! Magazine (4/5 stars)
"Cosmic Radio Station reminds, in its bucolic origins, in its textural sincerity, of the Triffids’ Born Sandy Devotional, evoking a similarly deep antipodean essence, as if the musicians making it simply cannot help giving off a living vibe of the place they come from. Which makes nothing but sense, as these lads from the edge of Dunedin are as invested in their storied surroundings as is possible for anyone to be. Should you be at all curious as to the thriving sonic essence of this pop historic port city tucked away on the far side of the Tasman Sea circa 2015, Shifting Sands provide you with your concise, ultimate answer in thirty-nine luminous minutes."
