5.0 out of 5 stars
Expensive Kiwi brilliance, April 8, 2010
This review is from: Hey Spinner! (Audio CD)
I was lucky--picked this up for a fistful of peanuts way back. But it is worth it (maybe not 100 bucks!) Strong, imaginative songwriting with a lotta of the ole Farfisa organ, reminiscent of their first album "A Cuppa Tea". The Tasmans incorporate catchy Chills-esque songwritng with over-the-top electronics. This is a wild blend of beautiful songwriting and real anger (see the Verlaines). Any devotee of Kiwi-rock needs to have this, the first album, Somebody Ate My Planet, and Store in a Cool Place. The most recent album is thoroughly unnecessary.

This review is from: Hey Spinner! (Audio CD)
This album is listed new as $188. I don't know why, it must be rare. Their first album is much better.
