Album Review: Roku Music - Collider

While the band is relatively new they’ve wasted no time in cementing a distinct sound.



Brisbane four-piece Roku Music's album represents the first full-length release for Brisbane label Sonic Masala. While the band is relatively new they've wasted no time in cementing a distinct sound. Using easy genre descriptors like shoegaze will get the right music lovers to pay attention, but there's nothing generic about the sound the band have captured on this record. Recorded by two of the members in their own studio, Nowhere Audio, they've taken the time to create a perfect sonic balance to show off the subtle songwriting that's another of the band's many strengths.
