"You wouldn't believe how many people tell me to turn the vocals up, like there's a law against having them buried! Imagine 'Loveless' by My Bloody Valentine if the engineering police turned up and made them do it by the book, or 'Fables of the Reconstruction' by REM or 'Aladdin Sane' by Bowie." - Joe Sampson, T54.
Sharing a name with a Soviet battle tank, Christchurch's T54 debut album In Brush Park bombards in a haze of guitars, textured vocals and vicious rhythm section.
Following on from their 2010's Drone Attacks EP the trio (Joe Sampson, Matt Scobie and Sam Hood) teamed up with Tom Bell (David Kilgour & The Heavy Eights, Ghost Wave), recording the ten songs in the iconic Dunedin venue, Sammys. Mastered by Steven Marr (Doprah, Ipswich), In Brush Park simultaneously scathes, soothes and shatters, and is completed with the other-worldly art of Leo Beckett.
