After a whirlwind few years that’s seen Dillastrate earn a reputation as a live force to be reckoned with, the Christchurch duo has revealed their debut full-length self-titled album (December 6).
It is a significant milestone for Dillastrate (Henare ‘H’ Kaa and Tim Driver) who have toured New Zealand countless times and played at some of the country’s biggest festivals, including Electric Avenue, Rhythm and Vines and Northern Bass.
The songs that make up the album are the result of what happens when you send two highly-skilled seasoned musicians into the studio with no agenda and let them go.
A tour through a world of musical influence, the record contains party bangers, late night slow jams, bleeding heart ballads and wonky sideways grooves, all the while embracing Dillastrate’s signature sound, which infuses soul, pop, hip-hop and electronic music.
“It is the net worth of our loves, frustrations and influences,” says the duo. “It is opposing forces coalescing naturally to create a sound that is consistent, artfully shaped and lovingly crafted.”
All tracks on the album were written, performed and produced by Tim and H and producer Ben Malone. All three are esteemed musicians in their own right, with H recently travelling to London, UK, where he shared the stage with Rolling Stones legend Ronnie Wood. Read more here
