'SECRET LIVES OF FURNITURE' by Ha the Unclear is OUT NOW
'SECRET LIVES OF FURNITURE' by Ha the Unclear is OUT NOW on iTunes & Bandcamp
Now with a brand new
name, Dunedin/Auckland group Ha the
Unclear (formerly known as Brown)
release the second single from their forthcoming
album Bacterium, Look at Your Motor
Go.
Their latest single,
'Secret Lives of Furniture' is an
unsettling anthropomorphic account of a coffee table's
infatuation for its owner; recorded and produced by Oli
Wilson (Males, The Chills, Knives at Noon)
with engineering assistance from Mike Holland at
Dunedin's Albany Street Studio.
Its release follows a
national tour and NZ On Air video funding after the success
of the singles 'Apostate' (#1 Radio One 91fm, #1 Kiwi
FM, #4 RadioActive) and 'Picking Out a Shirt For Work' (#1
RadioActive).
Skewed and catchy, Ha the
Unclear's sound is delivered with unaffected
accents and constructed with a blend of off-kilter pop and
1960's influenced folk-rock.
Their output teeters on the
fence of the strange and the familiar, while their lucid
lyrics are awash in layered harmonies and supported by a
charmingly dynamic rhythm section.
The group's earnest
subject matter explores ponderously frank bedroom
philosophies, seasoned uncertainty, and partying with
capitalists.
Now based in Auckland, Ha the
Unclear initially formed in Dunedin in 2010. They
quickly released a string of bedroom recordings under the
moniker Brown and completed several
life-shortening national tours.
After spending time
abroad, songwriter Michael Cathro relocated
to Auckland in 2012, while the band continued to tour and
record with feet in both cities. Michael is now joined by
brother Paul Cathro on bass, drummer
Benjamin Sargeant, and Theodore
Francis on guitar.
Ha the Unclear are set to release their new album Bacterium, Look at Your Motor Go in August 2014.
