The Thousand Suns hail from Wellington - Featuring songwriting & guitar of Warren ‘Woz’ King, the vocal charm of Maya Haettenschwiller, the percussive backbone of Emmanuelle Svartz and the dynamic production talent of ex-old school punk rocker and latterly trad Italian muso Lorenzo Bühne. The album troubles and charms in equal measure, mixing laid-back harmonies [backed primarily with percussive djembe beats – a Malian hand drum introducing a tasty world music blend] with angular guitar work. Thousand Suns are getting loads of airplay in the deep South – make them part of your late Summer – win your own copy of Fascination by tuning into Weekday Breakfasts on Community Radio Hamilton.
