The opening lyrics set the scene well for this charming little number - “I can’t help but wonder is this the only way? Get so caught up in the drama that we forget to play.” The aptly titled Take It Easy by intriguing Wellington act In The Shallows is a song for the ages and one which is unlikely to ever go out of fashion.
With a cruisy vibe, mesmerising vocals and relatable lyrics, this harmonious track is exactly what many of us need to hear. It’s as though it’s been designed with relaxation in mind, while encouraging the listener to look at the bigger picture.
Take It Easy is a distinctive and organic acoustic track; full of character and with a classic style that is sure to stand the test of time. Each member of In The Shallows is an accomplished musician, and this track shows that not only are they capable of creating compelling music; they also have a strong musical connection with one another.

I’m Lisa, Muzic.NZ’s founder and manager. I also manage the Aotearoa Music Industry Collective as well as the Aotearoa Rock Community and the Gig Space Facebook groups. I’ve been interested in music for as long as I can remember – I grew up listening to my parent’s records and watching the Top 40 Countdown on TV every weekend. I also played the drums and guitar in high school, and wrote lyrics for some of my friend’s bands. I come from a musical background; my Granddad was one of the main founders of country music clubs in Taranaki. Rock is my favourite genre of music, but I enjoy a huge variety of genres from old school hip-hop through to metal, punk, pop, folk and EDM. My advice to NZ musicians’ is to build yourself a great support network, never be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and talk to
