Ghost Wave Revisited

Tip o' the headgear to Rollo & Grady for the nogginlifting on this one. We've enjoyed this Auckland band for quite awhile now, not least due to previous alertings by the aforementioned R&G. So thanks, R. You, too, G. BTW, most of those previous R&G alertings are still downloadable. Check out more by and about Ghost Wave here, here, here, and here.

Not So Strange Babes

This LA/NZ collab adds perfect gently jangly comfort to a spring/fall day, holy or not. (We're betting summer/winter, too.) Read more here and here. Go here if you prefer Bandcamp.

Odd Bird: Kiwi Tom Lark

We found New Zealander (Christchurch) Tom Lark via our email friends at Happy. Although repelled by the picture accompanying the video of "Hipsteranity," we soldiered on and boy/girl, are we glad we did. We love the quirky bigsound and the thrilljoy of the everrecurring unexpected. If it's doing for you what it's doing for us (although, truth to tell, how would you really know?), more streams and frees and legals are at SoundCloud and Bandcamp.
