.. About This Release .......................................
: :
: City Chorus is a new album of original New Zealand :
: music released by LOOP Recordings Aot(ear)oa. Created :
: by Wellington-based solo :
: artist Age Pryor, the album marks a return to his :
: hometown music scene after five years away. Guests on :
: the album include musicians :
: from Wellington heavyweights Fat FreddyÆs Drop, Trinity :
: Roots, Twinset and The Black Seeds. :
: AgeÆs previous release Homerecordings (2000) was a :
: collection of acoustic songs recorded live in the sunny :
: idyll of north-west Nelson with :
: fellow songwriter Tessa Rain. Performed to a backdrop :
: of singing tui and crashing waves, this carefully :
: crafted set made for an intimate :
: and absorbing listening experience. :
: The tracks on City Chorus are sophisticated and :
: beautifully-crafted, with an undeniable pop :
: sensibility. The music has a warm, analogue :
: feel created by the use of acoustic guitars with Fender :
: Rhodes keyboards & real strings alongside electronics. :
: This is rich chilled-out music, :
: thoughtfully produced, but still retaining a rawness :
: and honesty. :
: Age has again teamed up with Tessa Rain, who provides :
: beautiful, ethereal vocals on a number of tracks, :
: including the opener Curious :
: Boy. The quirky, funky All Is Good also highlights the :
: male-female vocal interplay to stunning effect. :
: The album juxtaposes delicate acoustic ballad Eyes :
: Rarely Meet with the stonking 9-minute funk-dub :
: instrumental jam Barefoot :
: Breakitdown (featuring Toby Laing from Fat Freddy's :
: Drop on Hammond and bnet award winner Warryn Maxwell on :
: alto sax). Another :
: standout track is Ana Silva, boasting disco guitar, :
: funky live drums & jazz saxophone as well as some great :
: vocals from Age, backed up by :
: The Video Kid & Rob Hinkley (Bleakhouse). There are :
: also two atmospheric interludes, where samplers & :
: electronics are used together :
: with live instruments. :
: Age wrote, recorded & produced all the tracks on the :
: album, with writing assistance from brother Eliot, as :
: well as playing acoustic & :
: electric guitar, piano, synthesisers, Wurlitzer & :
: percussion, programming beats and providing vocals, but :
: City Chorus is the result of a :
: collaboration with fifteen other musicians. As the :
: album title suggests, This is a true Wellington City :
: Chorus - credits read like a Who's :
: Who of the Harbour City's music scene. Many of these :
: musicians performed regularly with Age in previous band :
: incarnations and the :
: understanding between them is obvious from the quality :
: of the performances. Collaborators include Chris :
: O'Connor, Paul Hoskin, Dan :
: Yeabsley, the Video Kid, Nigel Collins, Kerry Wood, Al :
: Fraser, Tim Jaray and Rob Hinkley. Additional mixing is :
: by Dr Lee Prebble; :
: mastering by 50Hz. :
: The CD is packaged in a beautiful fold-out case with :
: complete lyrics and detailed track information. :
: City Chorus presents a journey of many colours. It is :
: an example of quality songwriting that guarantees to :
: reward repeated listeningà :
