Alan Haig is one of the names associated with a myriad of Dunedin bands past and present as drummer (The Chills and Snapper mostly) and keyboard player (David Kilgour and the Heavy Eights and Jay Clarkson and The Containers mostly). This glorious instrumental looks to be his first ‘solo’ release on Bandcamp, recorded with members of The Containers.

“Underneath” recalls some of the widescreen grandeur of a Heavy Eights tune and the uplifting swell, rush and rawness fits the New Zealand landscape. Great driving music therefore.

Alan’s piano & Vox organ is accompanied here by bassist Tenzin Mullin, drummer Mike Dooley (Toy Love), and guitarist Jay Clarkson (The Expendables).
