thank you to this stalwart New Zealand sound artist:
CAMPBELL KNEALE
POWERS
He who has moved within interstellar sound for close to thirty earth-years aboard sonic spacecrafts such as BIRCHVILLE CAT MOTEL, BLACK BONED ANGEL, and OUR LOVE WILL DESTROY THE WORLD.
Fresh from opening for USA’s Art Metal Giants, SUMAC - a 14 date nationwide tour of Aotearoa is near - and includes a special evening on SUB tropical Waiheke Island.
Known for its sipping of house music and head banging chardonnay, Waiheke will hold the space for POWERS at Onetangi Hall on Sunday March 29th, in the early evening twilight - exact set times will come soonish...
Inspired by ’60s New York loft minimalism, ’70s Kosmische synth, ‘80s No Wave, ’90s Scandinavian black metal demos, and ’00s Japanoise, POWERS pushes everything to transcendental, excoriating, and stroboscopic extremes. Impossibly dense, defiantly raw, and utterly hypnotic,
POWERS sets the controls for the heart of a freezing black sun… unfurling the unfathomable with occultic, apocalyptic sound. Carnivorous psychedelia.
POWERS has found an outlet primarily through Kneales own SUNSET TEMPLES imprint,

Reviews~
"With an uncommon patience and a painterly eye for detail, New Zealand's Campbell Kneale maps out a formidable, boundless body of drone." (Pitchfork)
"Perhaps inspired by his boyhood love of metal, punk, Hüsker Dü, shoegaze and “weird classical music" Then again, maybe it was inspired by watching a goat eat a bicycle or pushing a broken boiler to the menders in a faulty shopping trolley? Frankly, who cares when it sounds this joyous, this powerful." (The Guardian)
"Kneale’s sound is otherwordly and seemingly sourceless—without referents in music, literature, life, or whatever other little blurb we critics latch on to for lack of musical vocabulary. Birchville Cat Motel has a way of making language feel utterly insignificant". (Stylus)
"He manages to evoke grandeur and awe, melancholy and solitude of a theological depth". (Dusted)
For interviews please message event host who will put you in touch with the artist directly.
