Untouched by any process of the music industry, the debut album by The Dark Beaks comes to you, literally, from the basement room in a house in a Dunedin, New Zealand where it was recorded in 2005 and 2006.Andrew Jamieson has been writing songs and playing music in Dunedin for about 15 years. First with a band called Munky Kramp in the 1990s. Then with The Dark Beaks.
"Warm, dark bubbling alt-guitar rocking...The Dark Beaks like to crowd their mixes with warm, dark brown, almost Van Morrison tones and then fast forward them to... late Beatle territory, but in a cool way, with odd joints and juxtapositions and effects making hay with the mix." (Unpeeled Magazine, UK)
"Guitar-pop trio The Dark Beaks have delivered the surprise pick of the bunch with debut album Spill Your Heart, which shows glimpses of the same kind of offbeat charm that made Bressa Creeting Cake so appealing." **** (The Otago Daily Times)
"In a Coalmine is reminiscent of early Flying Nun band Sneaky Feelings with its rolling rhythms while other tracks conjure up comparisons with The Bats... Spill Your Heart is a welcome new addition to the rich catalogue of sounds that have emanated from Dunedin's frosty corridors." (The Southland Times)
