Delivering a vivid and colorful sound which draws from the immediacy of shoegaze, britpop's likableness, and elements from psychedelic and space rock, London/Melbourne band, Shiva and the Hazards, are following their acclaimed debut EP, Future Cult Classics, from last year with an enchanting new single.
Angkor Wat, produced by Matt Redlich (Holy Holy, Husky) and mastered by Brian Lucey (Arctic Monkeys, The Black Keys), is a sharp new cut which seems to be holding the long standing britpop torch aloft, while making excellent use of the upcoming band's zesty delivery.
The new release comes right before Shiva and the Hazards' tour in support of the great Ride, followed by a few dates alongside nineties britpop dears, Cast.
