Repeat, Repeat by Repairs
33 minutes. 14 tracks: the result of two years, two continents and a lot of hard graft. Mixed by guitarist Martin Phillips between Scotland and Auckland in late 2019/early 2020 and mastered by Rohan Evans (Wine Cellar, Arcade Recordings) during NZ's first level 4 lockdown.
Offering a fairly accurate summing up of life in 2020: anxiety, isolation, disillusionment, searching for meaning and hope. It’s also very much an album deeply rooted in friendship. The sound of a band "having fun channeling all the boredom, anxiety, pointless stress and daily pinpricks of life into a crashing loud album of top class noise" (Harry Platt - Music.net.nz).
