Kaleidoscope World

Acting as a comprehensive retrospective of the band's earliest singles and EP tracks, 'Kaleidoscope World' is the quintessential document of New Zealand's influential Dunedin Sound. Martin Phillipps's songwriting pairs deeply melancholic, introspective lyricism with shimmering, lo-fi jangle-pop melodies driven by rudimentary vintage keyboards. The compilation successfully introduced their uniquely isolated, highly melodic brand of indie-pop to an international audience.
