about

On Hey Spinner!, this obscure New Zealand group deliver some of their best upbeat Byrds-esque guitar pop on record. Of the five albums they produced in the late '80s/early '90s, the signature of their sound is the keyboard-driven melody, subtle acoustic arrangements, and propulsive rhythm section. The sound is quite close to a more folk-sounding Stereolab, with vocal harmonies from the Brian Wilson songbook.

One of the greatest albums in rock history. It plays like a greatest hits compilation because the songs were so good. Carter and Brough were truly the Lennon/McCartney of the late 80s/early 90s. The lyrics, songs, singing, playing…everything is perfect. Every song is great. I’ve bought this album multiple times because I feel it deserves it. I’ve heard probably tens of thousands of albums in my lifetime and this is in my top ten. Masterpiece. Brian Worthing
