dihansse 02/08/2021 21:26 in My discoveries per year“My third entry in a few hours: 2 albums of 1987. An album I already own: Nothing can beat Rumours also not this album. Big Love, Seven Wonders, the title track and Isn't It Midnight are great but that about covers it. Not a bad album but not a great one either and moves from the 54th tot the 44th…”

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!
