They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Part 5
Active compensatory factors: When I first listened to this it sounded quite indie rocky for a start - so it reminded me of The Beths a bit, then the Dunedin jaggly indie-pop sound predominated and I wondered if Look Blue Go Purple had reconstituted themselves. Both of those bands I love, so this album was already off to a flyer!
I was kind of on the right lines. It's The Bats, without main man Robert Scott. I also love The Bats!
Minisnap is roughly The Bats with lead guitarist Kaye Woodward taking over vocals and writing duties.
Those first three songs were all great and third song - Innocent, has a killer riff.
I love everything about this album - the off kilter song development, the non-polished vocals (reminded me a bit of The Marine Girls sound with Tracey Thorn), the beaty pulse. Every song was terrific - no downside.
Where do they all belong? The Bats are coming when we get to T.
