Sounds Familiar

Sounds Familiar is a follow-up to the band's 2004 album, The Sound Inside, which features 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 Song 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.

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's 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.
