Robert Scott never stops surprising - as a solo artist he's found a new gear. On his first album, 'The Creeping Unknown, he experimented, for the next 'Ends Run Together he produced a terrifically assured work of pop-rock. 'The Green House' is another excellent set of songs: the mood is quieter, and it draws you in with intimate tales of the heart set in the weather and wide skies of the south - a record of darkness and light, beautifully played out and accentuated with the aid of the voice of Tiny Ruins. Indeed Tiny Ruins (Hollie Fullbrook) adds the perfect accompaniment, appearing on half of the albums 12 tracks. And shes not the only guest appearance either with extra guitar lines thanks to Tristan Dingemans (HDU), with drums provided by Rob Falconer. All expertly engineered and mastered by Dale Cotton (The Bats, David Kilgour) in Roberts home of Port Chalmers, Dunedin. Scott's album The Green House captures him at yet another career peak in melodic songs which only rarely allude to the acoustic or rock chug of his other bands but mostly turns attention towards deftly tuneful song Graham Reid.
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.
