Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released on the cult British label The Village Thing, the New Zealand expatriate's debut album is a mesmerizing display of intricate acoustic fingerpicking and deeply surreal lyricism. Seamlessly blending traditional folk forms with a slightly dark, distinctly psychedelic sensibility, the unadorned acoustic arrangements highlight his virtuosic guitar work and idiosyncratic vocal delivery. It is a highly treasured, elusive masterpiece of the 1970s acid-folk underground.
