One of the best albums by one of the best bands by Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com (...in Middle America)  5 Stars
April 27, 2006
I've been a big Bats fan since about 1986 (where'd I put my Geritol...?) and I was really, really happy when I heard this record. I haven't really been fully on board with the Bats for a few years now -- iffy solo stuff, etc. -- but this lush, dreamy set of drony guitar songs swept me away... If you like the spacier stuff by their fellow kiwipopster, David Kilgour, then you'll love this record. Very nice, very mellow.

The Bats are back by Michael N. Edmonson (Newtown, PA USA) 5 Stars
October 15, 2005
A beautiful album, IMO every bit as good as any of their previous work. Not as instantly catchy as some of their earlier albums, but just as addictive after a few listens. My current favorite songs are "Western Isles" and "Single File".

Great Bats Album by Goto Dingo (Chatt, TN) 5 Stars
October 01, 2005
I think this may be my third favorite Bats' record. Caveat, I like Fear of God and Silverbeet best. Kudos to Octopus Overlords for letting us know this record was out!! I say GRAB IT!

| The Guilty Office
by The Bats
7th studio album from New Zealand Jangle-Pop Overlords & Overlady, The Bats, led by Robert Scott from The Clean and members of Minisnap. Expect fragile but determined vocals, ringing guitars and chunky rhythms that seem quintessentially 'New Zealand Indie'; remote, cool, spacious, unusual but strangely familiar. Melancholy and joyous in turns, The Bats have a unique sound that has captured the imagination of multitudes.

| Mister Pop
by The Clean
In 1978, The Clean were the seeds of New Zealand punk. They carved out a big sandbox for everyone to play in, and their influence resonated not only in NZ but around the world. This summer's Mister Pop sees The Clean continue the great pop pastiche. Circus ragas ("Moonjumper"), hazy sunset anthems ("In the Dreamlife You Need a Rubber Soul"), and the loose Dada approach to wordsmithery continue alongside "proper" lyrical forays and a few Autobahn-referential instro moments to boot("Tensile").

by The Clean
Over the last 24 years, New Zealand's The Clean have influenced countless bands with their unique blend of homemade garage rock, hook-filled melodies, and psychedelic experimentalism. This double CD documents the band's development from the late 70s to the early 90s and includes out of print and hard to find singles, EPs, and tracks from the first three LPs. Merge Records. 2003.
