To celebrate being in the same room Pukeko are proud to present their first record. This 10 inch album represents our early wild days. Reflecting on its creation, the band shared the following statement: “We made this record in a lounge space in Otaki in mid 2022. It was kind of a classic lounge space, shared with an assortment of beer bottles and food wrappers over a few hours behind one of several doors leading outside. A windowed room lit by string lights and the odd lava lamp, the walls a palimpsest of posters and gig fliers.

There was a grimy rug, cluttered gear in various stages of use and abandonment, and the air seemed to hang in a permanent film of smoke residue and stale beer. We recorded to a oppo-lite over the course of several minutes - we’d just start the beats, hit ‘record’ and let fly. We had a vague sense of coalescence, or fomentation, like a glimpse of a thing in outline which you can’t yet see, but none of us knew at the time that this was the record that would mark the beginning of our life as a non - touring band and would initiate our connections to so many (now long-gone) friends, familiars and collaborators. Twenty minutes feels like both a lifetime and the blink of an eye – measurable but impossible to quantify. These eight tracks are a snapshot of our earliest incarnation: flying blind, but high on the freedom of experimentation and filled with hope for things to come.. Thanks Moon Duo

No, we did not consider putting real Pukeko feathers in each record. That is deliberate govt misinformation. Also do not go looking in your local or National Library or archive for this record as they will not have it
