Strangelove Music's personal inventory of New Zealand's 1980s odd pop;
The Kiwi Animal
recasts the local charts in a parallel universe of misfit melodics, gonzo-tronics, and strange waves. Channeling South Pacific voodoo and edge of world melancholia, the album highlights electronic tangents from iconic NZ groups
Blam Blam Blam
and
Headless Chickens
. It dredges the cassette revelations of art avante-gardists'
Drone
and
Kim Blackburn
, alongside bittersweet moments from
Rupert
and
Norma O'Malley
. There's the infectious minimal wave of
Ballare
and a reprised electro-boogie dance suite(?!) from
Tom Ludvigson & Graeme Gash
. The furthest depths of Flying Nun's catalog are also plundered -- a brilliant earworm from
Stiff Herbert
and a mysterious
"Roger" Knox
birthday promo. Mining disparate seams of a local indie label awakening, the various tangents of The Kiwi Animal congeal with a future/primitive sensibility and an underlying Antipodean mischievousness... Includes insert.
