Untimely Meditations sees singer/guitarist Graeme Downes proving yet again his position as one of NZ's finest songwriters. Lyrically and musically inventive, Untimely Meditations is expansive both in sound and style as Downes orchestrates and deftly crafts Post-Punk, classically influenced compositions, satire and a touch of cabaret. Combining subtle humor and Downes's drawl, these ten meditations are stories that explore the personal, political and social. Untimely Meditations is captivating, clever, funny, and pulls no punches. Recorded at Albany Street Studios, Dunedin, over an extended period of 18 months, Untimely Meditations features Downes backed by his core live band (Tom Healy on guitar, Darren Steadman on drums, Stephen Small on keyboards, and Rob Burns on bass) along with an assortment of guest musicians.
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.
