TALL DWARFS – unravelled: 1981-2002 (CD, LP Vinyl)

4x180g-LPs auf schwarzem Vinyl "housed in two gatefold jackets in a Tip-on cardboard slipcase". Vinyl-Version inkl. 20-seitigem Vooklet mit Texten, Photos, Comics. Postern u.a. Inkl. Downloadcard. Alec Bathgate kuratierte das Design und die 55-Songs aus 2 Dekaden umfassende Zusammenstellung der neuseeländischen Lo-Fi-Poplegenden und Pioniere Alec Bathgate und Chris Knox, der 2009 leider verstarb. Though the band was an excuse for two good friends who lived in different cities to get together, drink beer, watch shitty old movies, and do some recording and drawing, Tall Dwarfs created music unlike anyone else. Capturing the initial excitement of creation and taking pride in what they did, Knox and Bathgate showed a whole generation of musicians what could be done at home on a 4-track and what magic could be made if you mixed pop melodies and hooks galore with homemade sounds. *Merge
