The Gentle Storm - The Diary (Gentle) (2015)

I knew absolutely nothing about this particular gatefold sleeved, double CD wedged amongst the boxes of unloved discs sitting under the big “clearance” sign.

Marlon Williams - Make Way For Love (2018)

A talent like this doesn’t come along very often - ahem, unless you come from the lower South Island. Nadia Reid, Aldous Hardling and Marlon Williams are part of the mother folking good South Island Kiwi’s pushing their esoteric but trending trendy, angst-ridden tunes around the globe.

Mogwai - Special Moves [DVD] (2010)

I swear, I will NEVER attend a live Mogwai event. I’m long past going to sonically damaging gigs where your ears fight for recovery for the next few days and your internalised speech sounds like an old transistor radio.

Strawpeople - Broadcast (1994)

I heard a great interview on Radio New Zealand this morning with songwriter, producer and documentary maker Mark Tierney. He was responsible for the wonderful Strawpeople.

Death In Vegas - Scorpio Rising (2003)

Any album that includes a track with banjo, 11 piece Indian violin ensemble, sitar and Mazzy Star’s Hope Sandoval is alright by me.
