This album sees the band trekking more or less the same noisy, turbulent territory as their first album noise bitch, however in this case they are not afraid to veer off the path into more tranquil, peaceful spaces. Enlisting the recording help of friends such as Marie Dunn on cello, and members of the trace / untrace whānau such as Julie Dunn, Hilary Faul and CJ Holley, the songs' sonic textures have even more depth and layers within the waterfalls of noise.The album is out now...

Ōtepoti noise-grunge outfit Dale Kerrigan have announced a nationwide tour to celebrate the release of their upcoming sophomore album, The Water, out soon via trace / untrace. The title track, released today, is a slow, sludge-rock track which grows steadily to its noisy, encompassing climax, paired with a visualiser by Joel Field. Dale Kerrigan is the brainchild of musician Shlee Nicholls (Mary Berry, Flesh Bug), alongside her mates Joel Field (Porpoise), Connor Blackie (Koizilla, Adelaide Cara), and Josh Nicholls (Koizilla, Fazed on a Pony, Asta Rangu, Space Bats Attack et al.)  For Shlee, the band forms a response to the “ugly boy singing noise” stereotype, by way...

The album is "chocker full of chunky riffs and erratic noise." Need we say more?

Womb and Flying Nun Records are very proud to announce their exciting new partnership in this release of the Holding a Flame EP — out digitally on June 23rd, 2021.
