The Kiwi Animal / Music Media 12" Black Vinyl

The Kiwi Animal 'Music Media' 12" Black Vinyl

Haunting acoustic pop from New Zealand. Originally released on the band’s own label in 1984, this is the long awaited reissue of their first album. Billing itself "New Acoustic Music," the Kiwi Animal's debut is a set of introverted and austere yet lambent folk songs. Textural, gently hypnotic guitar chords anchor minimal arrangements, as Hayward and Cooper's entwined vocals – think Pip Proud meets The Vaselines - project paranoia and forlorn, diffident cool. Wry, imagistic lyrics somewhere between the stoned political economy of D. Boon and the head-fuck soliloquies of Robert Ashley complete The Kiwi Animal effect.
