Snakadaktal are kicking off 2014 in style, with an EP release and headline shows in Melbourne and Sydney.

The Sun II EP will be released on January 3. The EP features six previously unreleased tracks, including a radio mix of the current single of the same name, new track 'East of Here' and remixes of album singles from an array of talented producers and artists including Sydney favourite Hayden James and UK outfit Just Kiddin. The remixes have all received widespread international acclaim and Hype Machine love. The EP release now gives fans the opportunity to add the songs to their musical collections.

Following the EP's release, the band will play one-off headline shows in Sydney and Melbourne. In Sydney, the show will take place at the Oxford Arts Factory on January 17, whilst the Melbourne show is slated for January 25 at Howler.

Both shows feature impressive line-ups. Appearing alongside Snakadaktal in each city will be local beat maker Kilter. Kilter recently remixed Snakadaktal's 'Fall Underneath' single, which appears on the new EP. Additional support in Sydney will come from Castlemaine's D.D Dumbo. In Melbourne, local artists Rat & Co and CHIEFS have the honours.

2013 has been a significant year for Snakadaktal, seeing the band release their debut LP Sleep In The Water and touring the country. With its dreamy soundscapes, lush harmonies and poetic lyrics, the album has impressed critics and fans alike, bringing forth a new and exciting chapter in Snakadaktal's career.

Sleep In The Water will be released in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Japan and South Korea next January.

The Sun II EP is out locally on January 3. Tickets for the upcoming shows are available now.
