Not Boyz Anymore 2025

Not Boyz Anymore is meditative, methodical and desolately beautiful. While it shares sonic territory with bands like Duster and Slint, you can hear the influence of Aotearoa and it's landscapes on the composition. Recorded with renowned New Zealand engineer James Goldsmith and mastered by Carl Saff, it is perhaps the best distillation of the band's sound to date. Pieced together over 3 years, Not Boyz Anymore is woven into the band's aging through trauma, memories, loss and coming to terms with transitioning.

Farewell Spit 2020

"Farewell Spit is a record of ebbs, flows and stillness – imposing peaks, impossibly deep valleys and serene wide plains." - Weirdo Wasteland

SODA BOYZ are Aotearoa's premier proponents of slowcore, having honed their delivery to emphasize the negative space, leaving audiences hanging on every note. The Mousai called their live show "hauntingly beautiful," and said, "I’m absolutely mesmerized.”

After acclaimed tours of Australia and New Zealand in 2018, Jules (guitar), Josh (drummer) and Felix (vocals, bass VI) went to work with quintessential Wellington engineer/producer James Goldsmith, and Farewell Spit is the product. Undertheradar called first single Bad Friend a "lovably haphazard exploration into the importance and fragility of friendships." While Weirdo Wasteland said Farewell Spit "revels in restraint and release, a beautiful balance between muted delicateness and roaring pandemonium." It was recorded and mixed at Blue Barn and The Surgery, before being mastered by Brad Boatright (Off!, Sleep).
