19 MAY 2014 ~ NZ ARTIST OF THE DAY:

@PEACE

@PEACE AND THE PLUTONIUM NOISE SYMPHONY

"On this latest effort the group transcend into outer worldly territory, with reoccurring themes of space, time, evolution and religion. ‘Lite Year’ delves into the effects of time dilation and tells the story of two people drifting from earth around the sun, ‘No Stars In The City’ talks of getting away from metropolitan life to see distant galaxies, and ‘Stranger’ talks from the point of view of an astronaut landing on an occupied planet and its host alien."

Excerpt from the Audience review of 2014 album: @Peace and the Plutonium Noise Symphony

The music of Auckland based band @PEACE makes me feel like I am stepping into a netherworld, a space time continuum; it is somehow familiar yet entices me into a chilled out-psychedelic experience. The grooves are laid back and warm. Last night I checked out an unreleased track 'Amor Fati' on The Audience and just had to listen to it again... I am really looking forward to more, and a performance experience sometime in the future!! Their latest album @PEACE AND THE PLUTONIUM NOISE SYMPHONY has been well received, and I've noticed their facebook followers steadily growing in numbers since it's release!

Excerpt from review of 2nd EP 'Girl Songs' by JAKE EBDALE - RIP IT UP

"To the uninitiated, this may sound like an extension of Tom Scott's misfit group Homebrew, which could be assigned to the two singles ‘Cake’ and ‘Flowers’, but under the surface it possesses a raw and brooding quality, with an emphasis on laid back funk grooves and straight laced rhymes contributed by both Scott and Lui Tuiasau. Nineties rap commandeers the flow, and though the boys probably wouldn’t accept the ‘conscious rap’ tag, it comes to mind – A Tribe Called Quest and Common particularly.  "

Here is the music video for 'Flowers' by @peace on the EP 'Girl Songs' released in 2013
