Little Bark Releases New Single ‘Crystal Ball’
Auckland synth-pop artist Little Bark has unveiled her new single Crystal Ball off her recent album USB.
Crystal Ball is Little Bark’s ode to the famous crystal ball scene from the 1980s movie Labyrinth, and is the closing track of her critically acclaimed sophomore album.
Released last year, USB, was co-produced with long-term collaborator Stef Animal (The Golden Awesome, Mestar). Laid out like a film soundtrack, it is filled with synth pop tracks interspersed with melodic instrumentals.
Alongside Crystal Ball, Little Bark has also announced her first show of the year – playing as part of Eclecta-Fest at Whammy Bar on March 21. Curated by Auckland band Thee Rum Coves, the show includes the likes of Bespin, Heavy, Rackets plus more, and will feature her new two-piece line up. Tickets and more details at Undertheradar.
LITTLE BARK – USB AVAILABLE ON 12″ LP, CD + DIGITALLY THROUGH FLYING OUT
“It’s a timeless piece of work that echoes the kind of grand, emotive, electronic statement M83 and Fever Ray proposed, though it’s brasher than both.”NZ Herald, 4.5 Stars.
“a rousing array of space age synths and catapulting electronics that collide to create a quasi-futuristic, instrumental dreamscape” – Chartshaker
“It’s a strong set of songs with the occasional Vangelis – style instrumental which gives the album depth and a long shelf life” – Dominion Post, 4 Stars
