Jangly, upbeat, tight, catchy, slick, summery, good times guitar pop from Auckland. Perfect for your next pool party or barbecue. You get the idea. Favorites: 4, 5, 6, 8. No FCCs noted.
1. (3:47)—Medium-fast, driving, hip-shaking cool. Wah-wah guitar.
2. (4:25)—Mid-tempo strut. Handclaps and tambourine here and there. “Ooh, I don’t mind.”
3. (4:56)—Medium-slow jamming, sometimes distorted and sometimes not. Byrds-esque harmonizing.
4. *(4:59)—Medium-fast, instrumental. Heady motorik hits it off with guitar pop, and the two cruise into the sunset.
5. *(3:23)—Mid-tempo. Hazy, full, approaching shoegaze.
6. *(2:57)—Mid-tempo. “Be My Baby” intro. Mellow, soft, groovy.
7. (3:29)—Medium-fast, driving. Bit of a surf feel to this.
8. *(4:58)—Fast. Back to krautrock territory. Shakers make this mostly one-chord odyssey feel even more urgent.
9. (2:50)—Medium-fast. Backmasked tracks. Softer passage near the end.
10. (2:49)—Fast, kind of punky.
