Curveball

[ Rattle Records / CD ]

Release Date: Friday 16 April 2021

2021 is Rattle's 30th anniversary as an advocate for New Zealand art-music, and they are marking the occasion with a new album from Gitbox, the band that kicked things off for the label three decades ago with their much-loved and widely acclaimed Pesky Digits, Rattle's very first release back in 1991.

As curveballs go, we couldn't have asked for a nicer one. The group's music is as unique and vibrant as ever, just as Rattle's enthusiasm for artists who follow their own compass is not only undiminished but even more determined as we move into our fourth decade.

Gitbox is comprised of ten acoustic guitarists who usually perform left to right in this order:
Russell Hughes, Joanne Melbourne, Tomislav Skulic, Rob Mita, Sonia Wilson, Bodie Hermans, Peter Kirkbride, Sam Loveridge, Kim Halliday and Nigel Gavin
