Review Notes

This is the first official international debut by Skallander, the New Zealand duo of Bevan Smith (better known as Signer) and jazz guitarist Matthew Mitchell.
Mitchell and Smith have been playing together since their teens in various bands, and Mitchell's well-trained finger-picking could be heard on Signer's recent tours, so this third album feels like the two musicians have an almost spiritual link.
Taking cues from the golden age of rock music, when song writing was just as important as musicianship - Skallander is an album which should appeal to those of us desperate to hear great, memorable songs.
Utilizing Mitchell's virtuoso instrumental skills and haunting vocals and pitting them against Smith's veteran mixing desk trickery, the result is an album that sounds both incredibly new and yet retains the classic structure of your favorite '70s LPs. With nods to early Pink Floyd, Neil Young and more recently, Jose Gonzales and Kings Of Convenience, this is a deep and beautiful record which revels in the enjoyment of music itself.
A sun-bleached collection of twisted pop songs from guitarist Matthew Mitchell and Bevan Smith that is almost guaranteed to have you trapped in its hazy beauty for months to come! (smokecds.com)
