On of the many bands coming out of the NZ Flying Nun label and there are indeed a lot of resemblances to bands like The Chills but this feels as a very lightweight version of that band, like a choir boys band going psychedelic: not really my cuppa tea.

There were a dozen great bands in NZ then. Chills, Bats, JP Sartre Experience, Verlaines, Clean and for sure, the beautiful Able Tasmans. I think they all got an everlasting impact in alternative music. Thank you, thank you for this intense influence!
