The Inkling

The Inkling was described by Wellington student publication Salient as a "post rock/jazz/instrumental/whatever" group and by their record label as "ploughing a similar furrow to the likes of HDU & Jakob". Members of this largely instrumental act were Osaka Silenzio (guitar and occasional vocals), Phil Smiley (drums), Stefan Garstang (bass) and Luke Bang (brother of Fur Patrol manager David Benge) (keyboards). They released one album called 'Deluge' which was recorded with Wellington super-producer Lee Prebble and released by Capital Recordings in 2005.
