2 MAY 2014 ~ NZ ARTIST OF THE DAY:

JAKOB

Solace released in 2006

SOLACE by JAKOB is Dave's FAVOURITE NEW ZEALAND ALBUM EVER!!! ... that is saying something! until their new one comes out this year - maybe?

Intense atmospheric instrumental rock... masters of the 'quiet-loud' dynamic and delay on the delay... pedals galore... they sure know how to move a crowd. Live gigs are rare... so whenever you hear about one in your neighbourhood, we HIGHLY recommend you get out there to see them!

Hailing from Napier in the Hawkes Bay (North Island), this 3 piece band have a loyal following. If you like bands such as Mogwai, Sigur Ros,Tool ... chances are JAKOB sounds could be right up your alley!

Check out this youtube clip for 'Malachite' the first track on Solace:
