Dunedin Sound Tapes

The purpose of this blog is to expose you to the unique and unrepeatable New Zealand scene known as "Dunedin Sound" that emerged in New Zealand in the early eighties. This space takes over from wonderful blogs that in their time served to make known to the world some of the most significant bands and records of that period. The present collection is dedicated to all those kiwi bands -many of them already forgotten- who, without knowing it, wrote a very important page in the history of music.

David Kilgour - Here Come The Cars (1991)

4 reviews This is the 1991 album that belatedly launched David's solo recording career. Songs that followed his 1989 purchase of his own Revox tape machine, some performed with Stephen, and others worked up for these Nick Roughan-produced sessions. The 2004 re-mastered version features three extra out-takes and demos not on the original. Mostly setting aside the jet-plane's guitar sound so associated with The Clean, this album ups the strum/jangle quotient (compared to The Clean'sVehicle album of the previous year) to produce a shimmering confection of pure pop.

Brilliant post! Here Come the Cars really captures that dreamy, jangly vibe David Kilgour is known for. There’s something timeless about the way his music feels—like it drifts somewhere between memory and the moment. Funny enough, while reading this, I had a playlist going while sorting through old gear in the shed—some of it’s bound for scrap metal Gold Coast services soon. Kilgour’s mellow sound actually made the job feel less like a chore. Cheers for the nostalgic trip, mate!
