about

The music on The Shifting Sands 2nd album “Cosmic Radio Station” has been praised as “…multi-faceted guitar pop channelling New Zealand’s ‘80s Flying Nun sound…” by Uncut magazine while Brooklyn Vegan say “It’s a record of gorgeous guitar pop that owes some to Dunedin’s indie rock heritage — The Clean’s David Kilgour plays guitar on the album — but forges its own path.”

Now the band is set to bring its fuzzed out dreamy South Pacific psychedelic guitar rock to the US in October 2016.

about

The Shifting Sands Dunedin, New Zealand

A psych-folk/ space-rock psychedelic pop project from Dunedin, New Zealand,

The Shifting Sands is the songwriting work of Mike McLeod and alternate between the dreamy and the urgent.

While the hyper-melodic jangle-pop sometimes references the “Dunedin sound”, the injection of synthesiser, sitars, violins and whatever is at hand are thrown into the mix to turn everything on its head.
