Auckland's Wax Chattels Sign to Flying Nun Records & Captured Tracks
On the 5th Anniversary of the label partnership between New Zealand's Flying Nun Records and Brooklyn-based Captured Tracks, we are happy to announce the co-signing of Auckland's Wax Chattels – a first for each label.
When Captured Tracks head honcho, Mike
Sniper, came to New Zealand last year he saw just 3 songs
from the band's performance at The Others Way
Festival and was hooked.Within 24 hours wheels were
in motion and now we are pleased to announce this joint
signing, and a limited edition 7" featuring the bands'
lasted single, 'Stay Disappointed'.
Listen to & Share Wax Chattels - 'Stay
Disappointed':
The band may not have a guitar player, though you wouldn't know it based on their overwhelming sound and energy. They create an atmosphere akin to a traditional loud power trio – except their music is anything but traditional.
The keyboard, bass and drums trio create darkly hypnotic and frenetic music that's rhythmically complex and sinister with the track "Stay Disappointed" recalling that other side of Kiwi underground rock history, the one that's a bit less sunny and a bit less jangly.
The track is available on a limited edition, hand-stamped, one-sided 7". Available here.
