Te Whanganui-a-Tara based indie rockers Search For Yeti are hitting the road to take their new album 'Dark So Soon' around the country.
Drawing influences from indie rock, britpop, folk and new-wave with an emphasis on hooks and melodies, the album shows a diverse range which has been praised as “a brilliant debut” (Chris Philpott), “warm, expansive and guaranteed to elicit a genuine emotional reaction” (13th Floor), “the songs stick with you, dreamlike in their form” (music.net.nz), and “hard rock, indie rock, power pop, atmospheric, it comfortably straddles them all” (Elsewhere).
Search For Yeti are Luke Marlow (vocals/guitar), Vince Waide (guitar/bass/moog taurus/vocals), Sean Barker (drums, samples, vocals).
Joining Search For Yeti for the Te Whanganui-a-Tara show will be local indie rockers Dropper and Te Papa-i-Oea/Palmerston North based Persimmon bringing their brand of jangle-pop.
Dropper are a Pōneke-based power-pop four-piece consisting of Jude Savage (ex-Bleeding Star), River Hann-Ellen, Flinn Bellam (Debt Club), and Walter Martin (American Muscle). Dropper’s sound combines pop songwriting sensibilities with wall-of-sound, guitar-driven rock music, similar to Hüsker Dü, JPS Experience, and Gleemer. Blending noise and melody, Dropper has already impressed audiences with well-received performances alongside Office Dog and Australia's Twine and will appeal to fans of dynamic, song-centred, high-energy indie rock.
Four-piece jangle pop darlings from humble Te Papaioea Persimmon make catchy indie pop songs characterised by Kiwi accents delivering slice-of-life lyrical accounts supported by harmonies and crisp clean guitars. Their debut album ‘Tomorrow Morning’, released last year, saw them take out RadioControl's top song of 2024 at the SRN awards.
