Dr Reknaw - Put Yourself on a Pedestal

Set to release their highly anticipated sophomore album on May
2nd, Dr. Reknaw’s ’MIRACLES’ represents the most authentic and
expansive expression of their musical journey to date, uncovering
the next layer of the sonic and spiritual evolution of the two
songstress sisters.


The collection of 8 songs, all written over the last 12 months,
radiate a wholesome joy and weave effortlessly through a vast
array of moods and genres. Returning to their most beloved space
of live band studio recording, the two front women (Julia &
Sophie Cooper) met with their maestro band mates Jules Blewman (
Guitar ) and Luther Hunt ( Drums ) at the Surgery studio in
Wellington to record what would become ‘MIRACLES’. While
capturing the magical raw energy of live band recording the group
opened a portal, through which flowed vibrations of reggae, soul,
folk, worship, soul, dance music and even that which
Bassist/Singer Sophie describes as ‘Nun Rock’.


“This album holds a lot of variety in terms of grooves &
vibe, it's quite different to anything we’ve done before. What
makes it cohesive and organic to me is the themes and concepts
running through these songs. From this perspective it's very much
a concept album, the concept being an open journal of the lessons
life has brought our way in the last year, things we are learning
and experimenting with.”
