From Need For A Crossing: A New New Zealand Vol. 1 : Xeric : XER 113CD

For the longest time now, I’ve been completely enamored with the New Zealand music scene. It blows my mind that such a small, isolated country can produce so much great music. Everything from the indie pop of Chris Knox and The Bats, the instrumental musings of Roy Montgomery, the noise rock of The Dead C and the inner musings of Omit.

So, I was super duper excited to find this compilation of A New New Zealand, put out by Xeric, a subsidiary of the mighty Table Of The Elements. So, we’ve got the drone rock of Birchville Cat Motel, fractured folk by Pumice and psychedelic drones by Peter Wright. This is, overall an incredible compilation and is highly, highly recommended.
