Dappled Cities launch Zounds

Dappled Cities Zounds listening party

On Tuesday night Dappled Cities hosted a listening party with a difference for their new album Zounds.

Held at Kennards Self Storage in Waterloo, Dappled commissioned 12 artists to decorate 12 different storage rooms in whatever fashion they wished.

Each room featured a soundtrack of a particular song from the album on repeat.

Track 1, Hold Your Back, room by Sandra Veljanovski

Definitely one of the most unique and creative album listening parties i’ve been to.

The piece had strings you could tug to make the puppets dance
