City’s looking kinda Strange with New Academics
Johannesburg based New Academics launch their debut album, City Of Strange on Friday 16 March 2007 at Zanzibar in Pretoria. If you’re in the mood for what sounds like an eclectic cocktail of sound, then this is where you need to be this Friday.
Released and distributed independently, City Of Strange is a moving and compelling compendium of songs. Incorporating all the bands moods, from melancholic straight t funk, right through hip hop infused tunes and hard rocking, Chili Pepper-esque numbers. Like the band it is never just one thing, but rather an exotic melange of sound, emotion and passion that takes the ears and your feet on a convoluted journey. Thankfully, one that is easily repeated by hitting repeat on your CD player.
