Today, we’re more than happy to introduce you to a brand new supergroup. Comprising Tim Hoey of Cut Copy and Andy Szekeres of Midnight Juggernauts, Sanctuary Lakes came together during a period of reflection and faint anxiety. In that sense, the project can be labeled as cathartic and therapeutical. According to the press release, it also values feeling over form, intention over intellect, imagination over the explicit.

Taken from the record, the first single “Our life Together” recalls a day at the beach. If you close your eyes, it’s actually quite easy to imagine the dazzling white sands of a beach, where the waves come to roll and disappear. Besides the breezy and evasive lo-fi arrangements, “Our life Together” also sounds very organic, giving birth to something that could be both eternal and fragile, universal and ephemeral. To play on this contrast, the duo uses a beautiful metaphor between the ocean and love: “In a sea of love, you and me belong, endless together.” Listen below.

“Pacify” could have been released in 1984 with its shimmering synths, swirling electronics, bass lines, sinuous guitar alongside Kaufman’s vocals.

“Regrowth” will reportedly be focused on the little issues people have with those closest to them from romance to friendship and family. However, Kaufman himself says that the album revolves mostly around his childhood experiences. After different failed band projects, it seems like Kaufman is starting to carve a niche for himself with his solo project. His latest EP “As Much Again” released under Cutters Records received international acclaim. Not only that, he has been steadily improving his profile with tour outings with the likes of Cut Copy and Maribor State.
