Kerretta Takes Geological Formations As Inspiration For ‘Angelm’

New Zealand-based Post-Rock band Kerretta will be returning after 10 years, with their fourth studio album, Angelm, on October 18, 2024. Conceived as “a proto-astral collision of Pangea and tectonic plates,” Angelm‘s tracks “reflect a summary of continents.” Streaming and limited edition coloured gatefold LP will be available.

They say of the album, “Prepare to be consumed.”

From “the icy expanses of Antarctica through unforgiving tundra-filled badlands to the infinity of the Pacific horizon,” Angelm conjures “fantastical aural wonders.” 

From Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa/New Zealand, Kerretta are as influenced by Pink Floyd as Kyuss and Kraftwerk.

The three-piece have been nominated for the New Zealand Taite Prize (equivalent to the Mercury Award), have shared stages with the likes of The Breeders, Trail of Dead, Mantar, Yob, Pallbearer and Mono, and have toured venues in Australia, New Zealand, the US and Europe.
