The Clean - Vehicle (1990) [Deluxe 2013 Remaster]

The Clean's first full-length record, Vehicle, falls into that bracket. Released in 1990, it is one of the catchiest, most insistent pop records from the Flying Nun discography. Melody Maker at the time described it as "so joyous, so completely unaffected and unpretentious its absurd." And that pretty much sums it up. 

Recorded in London's Black Wing Studios, following the New Zealand trios reunion tour in the late 1980s, Vehicle is The Clean at their brilliant best. Right from the opening "Drawing To A Whole" to the beautiful "Diamond Shine," these 13 tracks show a band coming back together in a celebration of noise.

  1. This was a fascinating read about The Clean – Vehicle (1990) and its impact on the music scene. It is always interesting to see how certain albums shape a genre and influence future artists. Just like classic records hold value for music lovers, old cars still have worth too. Services like Best Cash For Cars Adelaide help people turn unwanted vehicles into instant cash, making it easier to clear up space while benefiting from it. Looking forward to more posts like this!

  4. What a nostalgic dive into The Clean’s Vehicle—such a raw and honest sound that perfectly captures that era. Your reflections on the album bring back the charm of lo-fi recordings and indie spirit. Just like how vintage music holds lasting value, even old or unwanted vehicles can still be appreciated in different ways—Cash for Cars Sunshine Coast is a great example of how that kind of reuse still thrives today.

  5. This post brought back such a raw and authentic vibe—The Clean’s Vehicle really captures that lo-fi charm that defined an era. It is interesting how old vehicles and vintage records both carry stories worth preserving. In a similar way, businesses like Canberra Cash 4 Cars help keep the cycle going by giving old cars a second purpose rather than letting them waste away.

  6. What a nostalgic post—“Vehicle” really captures that raw, lo-fi charm The Clean is known for. It’s great to see this kind of music still getting the appreciation it deserves. Funny enough, I was listening to this track while waiting at North Brisbane Wreckers the other day, and it instantly took me back—music truly has a way of connecting moments in unexpected places!

  7. Really enjoyed this throwback—The Clean’s Vehicle is such an underrated gem and still sounds fresh decades later. It's amazing how certain records manage to capture a time and place so vividly. While I’ve been sorting through old vinyl and even letting go of some unused stuff (including my old car via Cash for Cars Brisbane QLD), albums like this are definitely staying with me. Thanks for keeping the memory alive!
