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.
