The Wendy Morris Band - Entangled Album Review

28 Nov 2012 // A review by Peter-James Dries

Finally, New Zealand has produced the perfect accompaniment for a summer drive around the Whangaparaoa pennisula in a blue Capri. Introducing the Wendy Morris Band and the new album Entangled.

Entangled has a sort of 80s - 90s soft pop aesthetic.  The crowd-pleasing music they play at Country Music Club gatherings. Though easy listening pop, Entangled also flirts with the traditions of reggae, jazz, country, rock and folk. It’s music you can slow dance and shuffle waltz thru, or if you wanted to flaunt the product of your salsa classes to.

Tracks like “No One’s Gonna See Me Cry” (the video for which you can find here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=twVuw1pVsEs) sound like the good old days of pop when music was marketed to the more mature generation, rather than tweens. Other tracks have a more mystical vibe, at times in an esoteric, new-age pagan sense and at others in an exotic, Caribbean holiday, or Arabian Nights sense.

Backed by a talented group of musicians, including Graham Brazier of Hello Sailor fame, Morris sings of emotions and observations that reach for our heart, as they are emotions and observations common to all of us, like the observation that” it should be Sunday” today, and the feeling that this person you have so much history with is “somebody else’s now”.  Fear not; emotional as it, Entangled treads lightly. 

To show your support for Kiwi music and the Wendy Morris Band you can purchase or preview Entangledfrom Amplifier (http://www.amplifier.co.nz/release/86179/entangled.html) or Bandcamp (http://thewendymorrisband.bandcamp.com/)

You know that thing where the letter B has a personality, or words have textures and colours? That’s called synaesthesia.

Yurt Party - Album Review: Yurt Party
07 Sep 2023 // by Peter-James Dries
It sure isn't summer, and this is really not the Balkans, but Yurt Party’s new self-titled album refutes that. Back with another one of them Balkan rocking beats, Yurt Party’s debut is jazzy, erratic, and full of zest and energetic grooves, with flavour notes of ska, dub, and bergamot.

I’m too old for this world. We’ve devolved to the point where music is only as good as the soundtrack to your 10 second TikTok, and the thirty thousand copies recycling the idea.

The New Existentialists - Single Review: Invocation
16 Jul 2023 // by Peter-James Dries
The New Existentialists, a doom metal band known for their dark and atmospheric soundscapes, have just… Wait a minute… No. The New Existentialists are really not a doom metal band, and they’re really not known for their dark soundscapes… They’re more known as stalwarts of a bygone era.

Samuel Philip Cooper - Album Review: Journey to Sobriety
01 Jun 2023 // by Peter-James Dries
Samuel Philip Cooper sits on the brink of social media stardom, with videos of his belting out pop music piano covers from behind a pair of thick spectacles racking up views and likes on Insta. Little do any of the mindless doom scrollers swiping through his reels know, but percolating behind his eye brows is the very key to their very salvation.
