Minuit – Find Me Before I Die A Lonely Death Dot Com album review.
03 Aug 2009 // A review by JohnS
I have been eagerly awaiting 'Find Me Before I Die A Lonely Death Dot Com' the new album from Minuit, by wearing thin my copy of their 2003 album 'The 88' it won’t be long until this album turns out to get the same overuse. Minuit have always caught my attention with the unique sound from vocalist Ruth Carr bleeding out from my speakers.
With catchy tunes such as '25 bucks' (which has to be my current favourite from the album) and blood pumping 'Yeah Yeah' and if your more balled inclined there is a lil acoustic ditty titled 'Vampires', either way you get a guaranteed treat with this album. After playing all over the world and even with The Crystal Method in LA, they still remain kiwi as with even a track entitled 'Aotearoa'. You cannot get more kiwi than that eh.
I would class this as move of a Spring/Summer album to put on in the weekend a chill to rather than your usual get ready to go out CD. I can’t wait for their current tour to hit town as I definitely be on my way. Not all in my house like the album but it hit home with me. Top marks, it’s great to see NZ talent coming out in an album such as this.
Minuit are finally touring the country again after being abroad for so long, Please get out there and support some kiwiana as they will be off again before we know it. Don’t miss out!!!!

About Minuit
Having toured their synths and samplers from Hanoi to Helsinki on the live circuit for over a decade, this trio have crafted their own energetic sound – and it's refreshingly different.
Out front, the enigmatic Ruth Carr mixes sinister with salvation in a jubilant cascade of lyrics, while bandmates Ryan Beehre and Paul Dodge forge their rib-rattling, hip-shaking beats around her.

School holidays for my family almost always involve a decent amount of time traveling via the car and I always use this time to introduce my boys to new music to expand their every growing playlists on their MP3 players. The latest EP from the Hurricane Kids looks as if it may be another enjoyable addition.

Nervous Doll Dancing - Eidolon - Album Review
09 Sep 2012 // by JohnS
Nervous Doll Dancing is a new name to me, which came as a surprise. I consider myself to have an above average knowledge of kiwi musicians and I’m always a little taken back when I haven’t heard of someone who is this talented before.

Julie Lamb - Trippin' The Light Album Review
09 Sep 2012 // by JohnS
Blues, rock and accounting aren’t something that would normally be put together but Wellingtonian signer Julie Lamb somehow pulls this off. Her second album entitled 'Trippin’ In The Light' displays a range of talent, which is rarely found on the shelfs nowadays.

Known Associates: Penny Love
05 Jul 2011 // by JohnS
It’s hard not to pick an album and solo judge the music inside by its cover. It’s the whole basis of trying something new, Do you like the look of them, are they wearing the latest fashions or even the classic do I know that guy?
