shoegazer indie rock

New Zealand based record label, A Low Hum, presents this cool, soothing indie pop rock feast. The Secret Knives is a quartet that's led by self-confessed perfectionist, Ash Smith. The band creates wonderfully soothing tracks that include nervous but beautiful vocals, perfect harmonies and awesome atmosphere. Affection is the group's latest record. According to Smith, the sound is a lot like their debut EP (The Wolves) only "...more layered and there’s more diversity amongst the tracks. There are some bits that sound kind of like Slowdive, or maybe Ride...) The record compiles 11 cuts that showcases shoegazer guitar soundscapes. A compilation filled with gorgeous catchy melodies and dreamy, swirling indie pop.
