the golden circles reviews Playground CD: Sixties lounge music swoons through the speakers washing the room with feminine harmonies and an intricate web of marimba, strings, trombone, guitar, theremin and drums. In their debut effort Brisbane's own atmospheric pop group have shimmied their arrangements into a release that tingles ears and throat (I just couldn't stop myself from singing along...

The band are at full force during the encore with 'Tonight' offering sweet harmonies, spaced-out theremin and vibra-slap rattle. -Dan Condon, Time Off   more reviews     interviews   news music shows photos bio press links extras
