Brilliant 1991 album by New Zealand duo Tall Dwarfs. Songs that will seep into your cells and live
inside you for many years to come. The sound is perfect and resonates pure joy with lyrics that
send your thoughts colliding and then stilled in full appreciation of this perfect moment. Also
includes their classic EP "Dogma" from 1987.

Chris Knox and Alec Bathgate have made music together since 1977, as founding members of
one of New Zealand's first punk bands called The Enemy. They then formed the band Toy Love in
1979, which signed to WEA, had a few charting singles, and then broke up. In 1981 Chris and
Alec returned as the Tall Dwarfs. Chris Knox purchased a TEAC 4 track and from there The Tall
Dwarfs became pioneers of lo-fi recording.

"Hilarie and Jim played me the Tall Dwarfs, and that made me realize that would could make
records that weren't slick! It didn't matter if people took it seriously or bought it, it was a record!"
