Music Pluswith Winston Watusi watusi@thesun.co.nzHow bands approach the recording studio has changed a lot, at least since the 1960s. Listen to a band from the 1950s and you are essentially hearing a live performance in the studio. Robbie Laven did it on the recent Whittakers’ album and guitarist Bruce Rolands, featured on Gary Harvey’s new album, is particularly good at layering interlocking parts without losing feel. Indie-pop outfit Crooked Finger has achieved that at Mount Maunganui’s Studio 11b with debut album ‘Unshackled Vol 1’, out now on digital platforms and CD. Crooked Finger’s album launch will be at The Jam Factory next Saturday, July 12.
