INDIE-SOUL 4
PIECE SOULDROP
RELEASE LATEST EP
‘GYPSY LIZARD KING’
OUT NOW
Kiwi new-wave indie-soul 4-piece SOULDROP will release their brand new & much anticipated EP ‘Gypsy Lizard King’ via label Meow on Friday June 18. Featuring the stunningly smooth singles ‘Cadet’ & ‘Jive’, this latest EP release furthers their reputation as a talented band on the rise. Currently making waves in the Australasian music scene, Souldrop have drawn favourable comparisons to acts like Ocean Alley, San Cisco and Saskwatch, with frontwoman Anna Benneto’s magnetic vocals the perfect pairing to the indie-soul jams of Finn Perring (guitar/ bass), Fin Gilzean (guitar) and Elliot Millar (drums).
Renowned for their summery surf rock, Souldrop have developed a genre-bending sound, infusing elements of reggae, rock, pop, jazz, funk and a dash of psychedelic lemon. Not afraid to experiment with different instruments to get the right groove, they’re a group that embraces musical diversity.

Having just recently dropped addictive singles ‘Jive’, ‘Cadet’ and ‘Trip’, the band are set to take the next step in their musical journey with latest EP ‘Gypsy Lizard King’. Originally from Christchurch, the band relocated to Wellington to pursue musical opportunities, and have since thrived. Releasing two EP’s in consecutive years (2017’s ‘Hazy Days’ and 2016’s self-titled EP), they suddenly found themselves with a keen fanbase, with single ‘Out of Mind’ earning over 1 million Spotify streams. Capitalising on this newfound popularity, they have used the energy of their fans, translating that spirit into captivating and exhilarating live shows, and earning them tour slots with notable bands including There’s A Tuesday, Great Gable, Dolphin Friendly and The Butlers.
With a solid 2021 touring & release schedule, and the promise of even more new music in the coming months, there’s no better time to immerse yourself in the indie-soul grooves of Souldrop.
