The Shifting Sands - Worth our While

With a driving, well-balanced production (great low end), "Worth our While" is the second single from The Shifting Sands's 2012 debut album "Feel", released through Fishrider Records (www.fishriderrecords.com). Dunedin-based, as is the record label, they readily concede their illustrious geographical lineage but point to differentiators such as the use of electronics and sitar.  For me the genes remain obvious, and that is not a negative. Michael Mcleod is the driving force and songwriter behind the band. He had a band called The Alpha State whose 2008 album "Lines" was well-reviewed in New Zealand. The "Feel" album, which had originally started out as a Michael McLeod solo album, has some depth in terms of musical contributors including a range of South Island luminaries (some of them participants in world rock history through the Flying Nun phenomenon), including David Kilgour, Robert Scott, Robbie Yeats and Lesley Paris, Jay Clarkson, Rob Falconer, Tony de Raad and Tom Bell. This is a good song. The album works for me. You can buy it at the link below.
