Sounds Familiar

Warner Music New Zealand is thrilled to welcome award-winning Kiwi band, Breaks Co-Op, to the Warner Music family of artists. Breaks Co-Op will release their third album, also titled SOUNDS FAMILIAR, early next year when the group also makes a return to the live stage, playing the Classic Hits Winery Tour www.winerytour.co.nz. SOUNDS FAMILIAR is a follow-up to the band's 2005 album, THE SOUND INSIDE, which featured the now iconic single, 'The Otherside', which became the most-played song of that year on New Zealand airwaves; a Top 5 UK radio hit and also won the Single of the Year Tui award at the 2005 New Zealand Music Awards. After the lengthy campaign that followed the international release of THE SOUND INSIDE through to 2007, band members Hamish Clark and Andy Lovegrove took a short hiatus with Hamish moving to Berlin and Andy settling his young family in the North of England. Warner Music New Zealand General Manager, Phil Howling says, "Warner Music New Zealand are very excited about the release of the new Breaks Co-Op album. We have long been admirers of Andy Lovegrove and the Breaks Co-Op and look forward to a long and fruitful relationship." SOUNDS FAMILIAR is an album that sticks to the Breaks Co-Op blueprint which blends mostly electronic beats with acoustic instruments and strings beneath Andy Lovegrove's bri­lliant vocal stylings on a set of shamelessly big tunes. It is a formula that has already served them well. And, if relying on these proven elements, then "sounding familiar" is no bad choice for these music makers returning in top form. Track Listing: 1.
