Like fellow New Zealanders the Chills, the Bats play magnificently hooky, heartfelt, and clever jangle pop that will have you humming along (Kiwi accent and all) by the second listen. This collection grants you 17 tunes from throughout the band's catalogue, and there's not a bad one in the bunch. If you're into smart-- and slightly arty, but never at the cost of melody-- pop music in the vein of the Go-Betweens, Smiths, Belle & Sebastian, etc., this will slide nicely into your bin (and brain).
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.
