Album Notes & Community Reviews

Returning after a ten-year recording hiatus, the iconic New Zealand group effortlessly revives the sparkling jangle pop of their classic 1980s output. Robert Scott's distinctively breezy vocal melodies and the band's bright, driving acoustic-electric guitar interplay firmly re-establish their mastery of the quintessential Dunedin Sound.
