Six60's second album comes after an extended period of songwriting and touring, where the band accumulated hundreds of songs and boiled them down to the twelve best tracks for the album.
Written and produced by Matiu Walters, Marlon Gerbes, and Printz Board, SIX60 was recorded between the band's own M Studios and Roundhead Studios in Auckland. It was engineered by Neil Baldock (Crowded House, Common, Shihad), mixed by Grammy award winner Tony Maserati in LA (James Brown, Lady Gaga, Beyonce) then mastered by Dave Kutch in New York.
The album artwork also harks strongly of home, the band have collaborated with renowned New Zealand artist Michael Parekowhai on their album artwork. With colourful mathematical Cusenaire rods in bright red, orange and white, the artwork holds connotations of childhood education and the language of Te Reo Maori.
Six years on since the conception of the Dunedin band, the Otago boys have had a meteoric rise to fame thanks to an enigmatic live show and the infectious hooks of singles 'Forever', 'Rise Up 2.0' and 'Don't Forget Your Roots'. After six New Zealand Music Awards, quadruple platinum album sales for their debut SIX60, sold out nationwide tours, international festivals at the likes of Glastonbury and feverish popularity, the boys are back in town. And, the love they have for what they do shows no sign of slowing.
