Wreck Small Speakers On Expensive Stereos
Wreck Small Speakers On Expensive Stereos were a Dunedin-based duo consisting of Michael Morley and Richard Ram. The groups recordings are based around strong rhythm tracks - usually plucked bass guitar and drum machine, with shout-sung vocals, fractured guitar riffs and organ squeels, with samples and other sound manipulations added into the mix. Though experimental, Wreck Small Speakers retained a high level of musicality and accessibility. #nzmusic #wrecksmallspeakersonexpensivestereos
