| devout member of the treeninja kollektiv: TNK
"one is life one is human life one is an individual part of human life one is all all is one we form a kollektiv he is tokon "urbantramper" we are treeninja." 2 Eps: natronics (2001) simple complexity (2002) 3 ALBUMS: to the future on foot (2004) the treeninja always gets through... (2005) (available through www.oneislife.org, and www.powertoolrecords.co.nz/urbantramper, and www.emp3.co.nz) tokon and the colours (march 2007) AVAILABLE BELOW OR REAL GROOVY OR ASK YOUR LOCAL RECORD STORE TO ORDER IT IN! PRAISE FOR "TOKON & THE COLOURS" "Urbantramper albums should come with a health warning. They are addictive in a charminglydisquieting way. The trippy folkiness of "shitty flat", "how do you have your tea" and "myfriend's mum" beguile because they keep threatening to fall apart. A contender for album ofthe year."* * * * * 5/5 (Mike Alexander- SUNDAY STAR TIMES) "wow. He's been hinting at it with the first two albums, but this new record, lake has truly nailed it. Its outstanding.If you wanna hear someobody who turns the typical notion of singer/songwriter on its head, get this record, or at least take a listen, its pretty incredible...."(Blink- A LOW HUM) "I heard a song on student radio early this year and immediately fell in love with it.So much so, I recorded it on my mobile phone and played it to everyone to find out who hadperformed it.That song was Sun Sets On The Empty Carnival, a track featuring on this album fromWellington artist Urbantramper.I had the same reaction when I put Tokon & the Colours into my stereo: I checked to see if Iwas playing the right album when How Do You Have Your Tea came on because it sounded sogood.Tokon & the Colours is a patient and romantic album, shown vividly with How Do You Have YourTea and Anxiety and Handpuppets.Think of twee pop songs about love using a glockenspiel and the cutest lyrics you'll hear inawhile.Shitty Flat is one of those fantastic tracks where Urbantramper mastermind Lake doesn't denyhis New Zealand accent - something the New Zealand music industry desperately craves.On the whole, Tokon & the Colours will hit a note with Belle and Sebastian fans and fans ofother twee-pop artists. How Urbantramper gets away with being so earnest I don't know, buthe does and it works..."Rating:4/5 (Kat Cox- WAIKATO TIMES) *get urbanramper's 'tokon & the colours'... |
