An Emerald City debut album released

Fresh from recording in the isolated and windswept west coast cave of Whatipu, An Emerald City have emerged with an adventurous and sonically eclectic debut album. Entitled Circa Scaria, their debut long player is finished and ready for release on April 6th out through Banished From The Universe/ Border. Co -produced and engineered by David Holmes (Jakob,Gramsci) Circa Scaria has been a huge step forward from the Auckland six-piece's highly acclaimed debut EP released in 2008.
The album will be available on CD, digital and also there will be a limited run of 200 double vinyls including a 12 page booklet and original artwork by Will Handley . Preorders are available by emailing reuben@isaacpromotions.com or can be purchased online exclusively at www.undertheradar.co.nz
To celebrate the release of their album the band will play a show at the legendary Ambassador Theatre on April 18th with Paul Williams and special guests.
This will be the band's last Auckland show before heading to base themselves in Germany for the coming months.

"Their songs sound something like the middle bits in Led Zeppelin or Doors songs: the freak-out, climactic jammy parts that represent those artists’ most experimental and often most impressive work. It’s as if An Emerald City took these parts and
expanded on them, and never got round to making an actual ‘song’ to fit them in to.” Salient

"Astral, epic, allusive, soundtracks for imaginary movies ...Say what you will, but don't ignore it." Graham Reid, Elsewhere

An Emerald City is the most colourful and absorbing explosion of musicality to come out of New Zealand in a while." Steve Scott, Waikato Times

"With an inherent element of progression that seems destined to take them far beyond our shores to the land of their Arabic-esque sound’s origin, this doesn’t sound like anything else being produced in New Zealand" Sarah Gooding, Real Groove
