DavidLush is the word that sums up this wonderful mid-80s record. It’s also up and over the brim with charm. A bit dated could also apply but the song-writing and impeccable production make up for any deep dive into that discussion.

DavidThis Melbourne outfit is another great discovery of late. Really hard to pigeon hole into any genre. As it says on the hype sticker “…this is inspired by funk, library music, cinematic scores, soul, psych-folk-rock and wonky synths.

DavidI may or may not have seen Ragnarok at the Racecourse Hotel, Hastings as a highschool lad back in the day.

DavidTo these ears this is one of the best records that Pavement didn’t make. While you could say that the Flying Nun label mates of this Auckland-based outfit taught the Paves a thing or two, this group are just as effective at playing sloppy, effortless and slightly off kilter pop music like the big boys of the era.

DavidI took a bit of a gamble with my record buying this evening. It’s becoming a bit of a habit lately, buying stuff I know nothing about.
