My new album Zealandia is out today. It's both a love record to our land, and twelve alternatives to the national anthem.
Bandcamp · iTunes · Spotify · Apple Music · SoundCloud
Or pick up the CD/double-vinyl/newspaper at the Shop.
Radio New Zealand premiered the third music video from Zealandia this week, Rutu. The video is a collaboration with the late photographer Russell Sheppard, of Naseby. Head to RNZ to read about how the video was made, or watch below.
Some really interesting takes on the album in the press:
· Radio New Zealand's Nick Bollinger made this beautiful feature on the record
· Writer Dan Kelly has published 'On the Positive Nationalism of Dudley Benson' - a piece on Zealandia for The Pantograph Punch
· Radio New Zealand's New Horizons host William Dart intricately explains his thoughts on the album
· And here's my interview with the one and only Kim Hill
Thanks so much to everyone who helped me make Zealandia.
Aroha,
Dudley
