Loop are excited to welcome Summer Thieves to the whānau with their first release, 'Potions'!
The first taste of an upcoming new album, the single sees the band fully embracing their pop sound, while still maintaining their indie feel.
Known for their ability to start the party with their indie-pop inspired tunes, Summer Thieves have gone from playing Dunedin house parties to some of NZ’s biggest stages. The expanding catalogue has seen their following grow, with 2021 set to bring the release of their second album.
Cutting their teeth as a “Scarfie” covers band in NZ’s deep-south, the band quickly began performing originals as their fanbase expanded. After releasing a run of singles, 2017 saw the release of their debut album, Warped, a 12-track journey laced with catchy hooks & hypnotic rhythms. Produced by Tiki Taane, the album features tracks honed over years on stage. The following years saw the band become a regular on the festival circuit, with multiple performances across the likes of Rhythm & Vines, Bay Dreams, Rhythm & Alps & Soundsplash.
2020 saw the band return with an extended five-piece lineup, and the release of their anticipated follow-up EP, Bandaids & Lipsticks. The EP saw them expanding their indie sound, incorporating more of a polished-pop feel, while continuing to embrace their party-starting roots.
Not wasting any time, the band immediately returned to the studio to begin work on a new full-length album. Mid-2021 will see the release of this new material, with ‘Potions’ beginning the journey.
