Chances are if you're a fellow kiwi, then you'll probably wound up having heard Computers Want Me Dead at some point. About a year and a half ago, their track "Circles" was used in an advert on C4TV, and a while afterwards they featured in a series of ads on the same channel promoting local artists and their music with clips of the video for their song "In Your Blood".
Gotta say, I'm impressed with these guys. New Zealand bands tend to be incredibly bland, sounding either like a rip-off of something else or from their own realm of dirge-ery all together. CWMD are surprisingly fresh, with catchy vocals and well-composed, highly melodic and layered electronics. They set an incredible atmosphere, and their pop leanings provide a great element of feel-good to top it off. Definitely looking forward to more from the duo.
