Info for Pool Sharks

Tāmaki Makaurau maestro Joe Kaptein (The Circling Sun, Princess Chelsea, Nathan Haines) is back with his new full-length Pool Sharks. A follow-up to last year's Eternal Afternoon, the album was recorded across 2024 with some of the scene’s finest - Wil Goodinson, David Harris, Ben Frater, Lukas Fritsch, Andrew Isdale, and Finn Scholes - who all join forces with Kaptein under the new collective Pool Sharks, in what is set to become your new turntable regular. - Flying Out

A remarkably prolific lynchpin of Tāmaki Makaurau's musical community, composer and multi-instrumentalist Joe Kaptein is a key member of such formidable local ensembles as The Circling Sun, Princess Chelsea's group the Dream Warriors, Bub, The Situations, Crystal Chen's band, power trio AIGHT, and no doubt more. Kaptein has spilled the beans about Pool Sharks, the inaugural long player release from his brand new imprint Jandal Records — purveyors of "interesting music from Aotearoa" — teased with the gentle cascading waves of lead single 'Sleepy Space Cadet', dipping listeners' ears in fractalesque ponds of new agey, high class jazz ambiance.
