Now playing — Felt: Crumbling the Antiseptic Beauty (1982). Lawrence wanted to make 10 great albums in 10 years. It all started with this decaying temple of minimalism. Two guitars (maximum jangle), drums (no cymbals), bass (occasionally).
Fascinating short doc covers the transition from The Enemy ➡️ Toy Love ➡️ Tall Dwarfs … basically the birth of NZ Indie as inspired by the singular demented genius of Chris Knox.
Perfect dreary rainy day music.

A billion gazillion super computers running AGI could never produce anything remotely like an Aldous Harding album. Happy release day to those who celebrate!
Now playing: the Flying Nun (FN 057) debut EP from the Jean Paul Sartre Experience. Dreamy, snarky psychedelic pop from Christchurch that sounds like sunlight through drawn curtains.
