    S1 E5: ZÖ
    Jun 29 2022
    This week’s episode features Wellington-based independent Folk Alt-Pop artist ZÖ. ZÖ has been making waves in New Zealand with her blend of broody, sparse, and at times ambient music. Back in October 2021, ZÖ released an EP titled Do You Mind? - produced by Wellington Indie Electronica Artist and Producer Neil MacLeod. Do You Mind? is an introspective conversation between ZÖ, her ego, and her internal monologue – an attempt to break free of the clutches of her negative mindset and rewrite the neural pathways associated with the way in which she treats herself.

    S1 E4: distance
    Jun 18 2022
    Episode 4 features Instrumental, Post-Rock band, distance – the brainchild of Christchurch-based Sam Butler. An amalgamation of metal, progressive, and ambient influence, distance (non-caps intended) is not unlike if Brian Eno were to collaborate with New Zealand band Jakob to create ambient Djent music. Back in 2020, distance released two five track EPs, and in this episode, I will showcase a couple of tracks from each of these records.

    S1 E3: Hemi Hemingway
    Jun 9 2022
    Episode 3 features a project of London-based Kiwi, Shaun Blackwell. You may recognise the last name – yes, we are related. Shaun has spent the last 8 years in London working on various musical projects and now focuses largely on his solo project, Hemi Hemingway – described in his own words as a glittery, heartsick crooner who makes 60’s pop-inspired indie garage punk. Episode 3 focuses on Hemingway's The Lonely Hunter EP - released June 2021. Caveat: This episode was written and recorded in March 2022, so please ignore some of the dates mentioned toward the end of the episode. https://open.spotify.com/artist/3yla541s3AnBSCbGe02k56?si=3hZlmF1nTeenuO6GAxZ81g https://www.facebook.com/hemihemihemingway https://www.instagram.com/hemihemingway/ If you’d like to submit your own music to be featured on Mining the Moon, please send links to your music to mtmoonpod@gmail.com

    S1 E2: Jack Hooker
    May 30 2022
    Episode 2 features the music of Jack Hooker – a musician likely known in Wellington’s underground music scene for his role in electronic/post-rock outfit The Shocking and Stunning – one of my all-time favourite New Zealand bands. Jack’s second major musical output is instrumental acoustic guitar music, incorporating open tunings, seamlessly intricate fingerpicking, and percussive tapping techniques – reminiscent of Andy McKee. This episode features Jack’s Parlour EP – a short collection of original pieces played on an Art & Lutherie Parlour guitar – and released July 28th 2020. Listen to this week's episode to discover the extent of Jack's vast and varied scope of talents. Check out Jack's website below to read more about him and his projects - there you will find links to places to listen to and purchase his various outputs: https://www.jackhooker.co.nz/ If you’d like to submit your own music to be featured on Mining the Moon then please send links to your music to mtmoonpod@gmail.com.

    S1 E1: Dead Mass
    May 20 2022
    Episode 1 features Auckland-based band Dead Mass. Dead Mass consists of Ivan Segedin on Bass and Synth, David Donaldson on Drums and Vocals, and Corey Walden – Vocals, Guitars, and Piano. The band released their debut EP, titled “Volume 1: The Last Judgement” in September 2019. In the words of their Bandcamp blurb, Dead Mass explores the space between alternative structure and contemporary composition. In The Last Judgement, nostalgic sensibilities are evoked through brushes with classic intervals, odd meters, and raging threats of hellfire. http://smarturl.it/deadmass https://www.facebook.com/deadmassnz https://www.instagram.com/_deadmass_/ If you’d like to submit your own music to be featured on Mining the Moon, please send links to your music to: mtmoonpod@gmail.com

    Welcome to Mining the Moon
    Mar 13 2022
    Mining the Moon is a podcast in which I, Dean Blackwell, review underground music of all genres. My hope is that this podcast will be a platform for unknown bands and artists to gain exposure through a format other than radio and YouTube; as well as being a place for listeners and subscribers to discover new, awesome music, that would otherwise fall entirely under their radar. If you’d like your tracks to feature in an episode of MTM then please email me at mtmoonpod@gmail.com.
