Melbourne / London band Shiva and the Hazards have released their new single ‘Angkor Wat’. Produced by Matt Redlich (Holy Holy, Husky) and mastered by Brian Lucey (Arctic Monkeys,The Black Keys), the single is the bands first follow up since their debut EP, ’Future Cult Classics’ which was released last year. ‘Future Cult Classics’ featured the single, ’East India Empress’, which was produced by Chris Potter (The Verve,The Rolling Stones),and earned radio play on Triple J, Triple M and community radio in Australia, as well as BBC radio and independent radio in the UK.
‘Angkor Wat’ is a laid back breezy tune with tight grooves and intricate guitar lines as Shiva and the Hazards venture into their psychedelic hued sound. The smooth melody glides effortlessly upon a busy backdrop of steady drums and weaving bass lines while the sublime guitar pirouettes and zealously stings creating a lonesome rich atmosphere. These wonderful guitar lines create depth and character as they flurry twinkle and crash throughout the track. ‘Angkor Wat’ is a sophisticated track and a sublime new addition to Shiva and the Hazards’ collection.
