Notes:
The band's long-awaited debut album features Hikoikoi's unique vocal style and signature keyboard sound, which have seen them become favourites at music festivals over the past 3 years.
The release of Hikoikoi comes on the back of their well-received 2008 EP releases of Vibraphone, Jah Armour and Too Hot Too Work, which were picked up for airplay by various radio throughout New Zealand. The band's latest radio single Blood In The Sand and supporting video endorses their commitment to sharing messages of peace, unity and solidarity as the lyrics in Jah Armour attest: "Maybe your rhythm be black, maybe your rhythm, be white, but in the end I know we will unite."
Paul Wickham, lead singer of Hikoikoi comments: "Our music speaks of respect for each other and the world we share. It's music for your heart as well as your head."
