Filtered Senses

Celebrating 20 years in the music business, Pitch Black, the godfathers of New Zealand electronica, are happy to announce the release of their fifth studio album, 'Filtered Senses'.

Since their very first gig at the Gathering Music Festival on Takaka Hill in 1996, Mike and Paddy have wowed audiences all over the world with their unique genre-bending brand of live electronic music.

Pitch Black regularly collaborate with MC's and vocalists who bring a different groove and a fresh sound to their tracks. 'Filtered Senses' is no different, with the vocals on the album contributed by Alison Evelyn, a Londoner who Mike met at a vinyl night he runs. Her contemplative and observational words merged beautifully into the Pitch Black sound.

Despite nine years between albums and four years living in different hemispheres, 'Filtered Senses' is instantly recognisable as a Pitch Black album, thanks to the unfeasibly large bass and endless delays sprinkled with touches of playfulness amidst the menacing undertones.
