Kiwi Rock
Hi everyone. Foster Park, here. Very honored to be guest-blogging on idreaminsupereight.
You know the feeling: a song you’ve always loved from way back when floats up somewhere in your gray matter and demands to be heard. This is how youtube has changed things, I suppose, because you might have just come out of the most stultifying status meeting of your whole life, and there you are, headphones on, a search engine click away from redemption. Not too strong a word, because now your hair is standing on end and your eyes are welling as the chorus comes around for the second time and yes, it’s every bit as good as you remember it. Ladies and gentlemen, the coolest rabbit in rock n roll.
Bonus track, proto-shoegazer stuff, also from New Zealand’s excellent Flying Nun label.
