The Pineapple Thief - Give It Back [BD-Audio](2022)

Gavin Harrison is probably the world’s best unknown drummer. He’s played bongos on many sessions for other musicians, but probably is best known (in the right circles) for his stick work with Porcupine Tree, The Pineapple Thief and the mighty King Crimson.

Pavement - Terror Twilight: Farewell Horizontal (1999)

The only full-priced CD I bought during my sojourn to Auckland was this Pavement 2022 Redux. As a completist, this sits very nicely on my CD shelf along with the other 4 remastered/extended editions.

Fazerdaze - Break! (2022)

I tried; I really did. I had a few things to listen to this afternoon, nothing I physically owned thank goodness, but I quickly became underwhelmed and even irritated with stuff passing as entertainment.

The Shins - Oh Inverted World (2001)

I’m a new convert to James Mercer’s witty, whimsical stories and quirky, off-centre soundtracks. My first real taste of The Shins was a different kettle of fish entirely.

Pink Mountaintops - Axis Of Evol (2006)

Stephen McBean, front man and guitarist of the fabulous Black Mountain, takes a trippy diversion with offshoot band, Pink Mountaintops. Fuzzed-out guitars, a wonderfully swampy, lo-fi production and wonky vocals makes for a real treat.
