well this was a pleasant surprise.

ever heard it before?

nope, completely new band for me, thank you so much!

@ren @ryuundo Ditto! New to me as well. Kinda surprised I missed this since they're on Flying Nun Records.

They sound a lot like another band but I can't think of exactly who. 🤔

Thanks for the share! 👊

my first thought was 10000 maniacs, but that's not right....

@ren Yeah, I thought maybe Camera Obscura, but then compared and no, that's not it. It'll come to me at some point. Don't be surprised if I reply here in a month 😂

There's a wealth of music from New Zealand for you to discover if you haven't heard of Flying Nun already.

Yes! Just discovered this community and wanted to get started posting some Flying Nun/Dunedin Sound, glad to see you've shared this awesome track and group!!

Glad to see another Flying Nun fan in the wild. I've been posting a lot of tracks on reddit for years and writing whole articles about artists. you can check them out below:
