THE FUZZY ROBES

For centuries, mercy, love, forgiveness, and communion have been at the heart of the sacred prayers uttered in the hallowed halls of the Anglican church. Fast forward to now, and have mercy, The Fuzzy Robes are here to drag those beautiful prayers into this psychedelic new era. Exactly who The Fuzzy Robes are remains as shrouded in mystery as the meaning of life itself. What we do know, however, is that a couple of years ago, in the depths of an Ōtautahi winter, a group of musicians began a process of liturgical looting. They were tasked with creating a musical setting for excerpts from A New Zealand Prayer Book, He Karakia Mihinare o Aotearoa that would give the words meaning for a new wave of lost lambs.
