Essentially a remastered merging of Nick's two previous albums - originally released on legendary New Zealand label Flying Nun - the reworking has produced a record that is a more concise statement. Brought up in the sparsely populated South Island New Zealand, Nick was rooted into the emerging local music scene including seminal bands like The Bats and The Verlaines.
