Vinyl LP pressing. 2009 sophomore release from the New Zealand Alt-Rock outfit. Having developed even more vim and vigor, TNV's blur of high-concept Pop, crud, and crunch is staggering. Scribes who languor within the components of glossy print continue to peep about parallels to Guided By Voices and Pavement; those of US paying our own way recall the glorious lo-fi shimmer of nascent Flying Nun via the Clean, Great Unwashed, and Max Block. Imagine Dead John Lennon, Devo ; Wine, Little Amps, New Times New Hope, Slay Atlantis, Teenagelust!, Ladders, Love Your Daughters, Allegory Gets Me Hot, +++, Bad Looks, Common Cold, Lover's Lane, Let Your Hair Grow Long, Hiding in Machines
