Brave Words

Shimmering Dunedin jangle-pop meets existential fog. A debut defined by crystalline guitars, haunting organ swells, and a uniquely New Zealand brand of melancholy.

1987 · Homestead Records

A shimmering, anxious collection of songs that feel like sunlight reflecting off cold water.

Moments Worth Listening For

The way the organ on 'Wet Blanket' provides a haunting, carnival-like undercurrent to the biting lyrical frustration.

The sudden, driving urgency of 'Push' that sets a frantic pace before dissolving into the album's more atmospheric depths.

The eerie, spacious guitar lines in 'Night of Chill Blue' that perfectly capture the band's namesake weather.
