Album review: Shadow Light – Tahuna Breaks

SHADOW LIGHT Tahuna Breaks (Rhythmethod) Having the balls to ask Brit house combo Crazy P to co-produce their first offering in close on four years but not having the cash to fly them out to NZ has been a double-edged sword for the Kiwi funksters’ third full-lengther. Sure, it took a little longer and meant they missed out on soundtracking New Zealand’s endless summer, but having Crazy P’s influence unencumbered by pohutakawa beach parties gives Shadow Light a euro-dance edge and shows them truly moving on from the days of Giddy Up and their Aotearoa backyard reggae styles.

THE BITTER SEA Nina McSweeney (FMR) Don’t be fooled by the Massive Attack approach of the opening track on Nina McSweeney’s debut album. There’s a lot more depth and substance to the Kiwi songwriter, who has featured on the Concord Dawn tracks Easy Life and The River, than the sound-alike single Lost In Translation might suggest.
