Curator Picks | Week of 12th July

Each week our curators put together a list of new songs to be featured on RDU. We’ve taken their hit pick and compiled them into one action-packed playlist.

Check out their picks below.

Becca: Headland – Crux 

Crux is sick, there are not many other ways to describe it. Released on 1985’s compilation “Atlas /1”, alongside some of the world’s biggest producers, Headland’s Crux stands apart from the crowd.  

Hannah: The Shelves – Atrocious

Poneke band The Shelves release the new track ‘Atrocious’. Known locally for their dorm-core noise, the four are back at it with their “British/Italian rock/punk boy” sound. 

Leila: Tim Reaper & Comfort Zone – Sherpa 

My track of the week is none other than Sherpa by Tim Reaper & Comfort Zone. I’ve been a fan of Tim Reaper for a while. So, his newest release being this good comes as no surprise.

Lewis: Incredible Yacht Control  – I Was Alive

Bret Vogel was originally of Portland, but he’s in Auckland now, so we’ve co-opted him and his budget alternative sound. He has an impressive CV, formerly of Crosstide fame and fortune, and apparently had a hand in the creation of the Mint Chicks. Seriously, look into this guy, he’s got some patrician history under his belt.
