Second album from Kiwi band, released in 1990.
Mostly tasteful guitar jangle, with a couple of Punk-paced Rockers. The vocals bring to mind Peter Garrett from Midnight Oil (don't know if that's just a lazy comparison, or if there's an Antipodean vocal sound that both share), or at times Al Stewart (?!). Lots of quality hooks, and distinctive melodies.
A little on the light side for me, but the melodies easily win out, and it's all done with a welcome touch of class.
Very good...
AllMusic 4/5 stars.
