Performing with their dazzling band, Japes will be performing the tracks from Omen, as well as some old favourites and surprises. It will be their only performance in Aotearoa for the foreseeable future!
“Written in a time of turmoil, and finished in a time of healing”, The EP explores themes of heartbreak, grief, mental health, and the feelings of hope as you rise to the surface. The songs on Omen were co-produced with Bevan Smith (Introverted Dancefloor, Glass Vaults). It showcases a piece-meal approach to genre, juxtaposing treated guitars, ambient textures and deep bass to concoct a thoughtful heady blend. It was widely acclaimed, gaining a nomination for “favourite EP” at the SRN awards, and with two singles featuring on Rolling Stone’s “NZ music of the week”.
