A shimmering, cinematic instrumental which grows from moody and dark to an epic beast. A fan favourite this version is performed live with the renound New Zealand Symphony Orchestra taking to another level of lush, dramatic glory. Inspired by the likes of Air and Ennio Morricone. Recorded by the amazing Graham Kennedy & Radio New Zealand. This track helped get the band on Taika Waititi’s radar and launch their film scoring career.
