Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Kilgour's first band, The Clean, changed the face of rock music when they kick-started New Zealand's pop underground in the early 80's. More than 25 years later, Kilgour still loves music but loves life more, which is why he's still making records that are monuments to good old-fashioned song craft. This is his third record for Merge and sixth solo affair. It takes some cues from its predecessors, the shimmering, trippy "A Feather In The Engine" and the lush, soul-tinged "Frozen Orange", without sounding like either of them. "The Far Now" is filled with gorgeous melodies, singing that conveys subtle emotion, and effortlessly eloquent guitar playing.

5.0 out of 5 stars the product review says it better than i could..., September 8, 2007
though i liked the frozen orange and a feather in the engine, they don't hold a candle to this. david is back to the superlatives witnessed in here come the cars and sugarmouth. not to be missed.

5.0 out of 5 stars more great stuff..., November 12, 2007
Another album of laid-back, somewhat psychadelic, indie-pop from this New Zealand living legend. Unlike a lot of records these days, all these songs meld together very well as a unit.

I definitely notice a Velvet Underground influence here, as well as a early 70's Rolling Stones vibe. Not nearly as bluesy, dirty, or hard - but the vibe is there.

If you are previously a fan of Kilgour or his classic 70's/80's band THE CLEAN, definitely get this. If not, this is a great place to start.
