These New Zealanders have been around for the longest time (25 years) but continue to remind us why they are one of the finest exponents of jangle pop. ‘Castle Lights’ is their latest single and is taken from their 7th album ‘The Guilty Office’. To say this fits into mp3hugger’s description of what a good song should sound like is akin to saying that a koala doesn’t half like dozing in the summer shade. Yep, we’re entranced and more than a little disappointed that the band have decided to leave Dublin off their current European tour. So difficult to resist a band that can produce such memorable laidback melodies. Some day soon they will be rightly hailed for the geniuses that they are. KD
