Influences: all the music we've ever heard, each other, YOU, the way only music can elate the human soul...
Sounds Like:
leaves falling from autumn trees, dew dripping from a cold wire fence, eyelashes flickering during sleep, desire, a mothers kiss, footsteps on a forest bed, a birds wings in flight, sunlight on dark clouds, spilt perfume, worn-in luxury...
"Recliner"s songs have a dark, hypnotic beauty that breeze along on mellow atmospheric guitars, poignant keys and gentle beats...
Everything from the jagged guitars to the ambling drums and warm synths is expertly captured to give a haunting, dreamy effect..."
NZ HERALD - Rebecca Barry
"...a collection of ten painfully beautiful languid pop songs... Recliner combines deep layers of crisp instrumentation with distinctly smooth yet weighty female vocals courtesy of lead singer Belinda Bradley "You've got hands that touch but theres no feeling" she sings on opening track Ugly before it soars into sonic soundscape bliss
RIP IT UP - Phil Bostwick
"In fact, the sonic layering on display throughout the album is nearly as much of a highlight as the sultry vocals of the two singers...reminiscent of the Bristol trip hop bands Massive Attack and Portishead.
