Product Description
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. |

10/10 - This is wonderful! by DirkL (Sydney, NSW Australia)  5 Stars
September 07, 2009
Oh yes, what a lovely little album. Thanks for this one, Robert Scott, Kaye Woodward and co. I've been enjoying The Bats since 87's "Daddy's Highway" and am so pleased to have the pleasure of another long-player to enjoy. Not only is this a rare treat (7 full length cds over 22 years isn't a huge output) but also a truly refined one. It's the best album the Bats have made and captures all that's good about them, producing a wonderful distillation of their trademark sound into a humble, expansively heady mix of warm, giddy tunes. Nobody sounds quite like the Bats. Long may they jangle on!

Guilty of a masterpiece! by David Tripp 5 Stars
June 23, 2009
I am a big fan of The Bats and I must say they have outdone themselves with 'The Guilty Office'. A real treat from start to finish! The production is amazing! Beautiful! Deep and introspective lyrics infused with their tradmark jangly guitar that is sure to bring a smile to ones heart.There is also some new sounds, including the beautiful harmonious singing from Kaye Woodward, that really help set each song apart. I also liked how the bass stood out on some tracks, namely 'The Guilty Office'...
If anything The Bats are 'guilty' of creating a masterpiece! The Bats in top form!

| 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").
