Four bangers on a 45 and a Bandcamp bonus track 'Post Office' (Value!). Here’s some words on the EP by Matthew..\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“This EP is a combination of songs from two recordings sessions. It was the cusp of the disease \u0026amp; the giddy rush of our first batch was giving way to a second \u0026amp; third \u0026amp; everything seemed to be pouring out. Every week Austen \u0026amp; I usually drove the combo of hard angled turns \u0026amp; straights out to the wild greens beyond Oamaru \u0026amp; down the final stony road to Lisa’s beautiful big old wonked out home. From the other direction Tom arrived from out Kurow way. The house itself is wolfed by\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ethe sprawling undergrowth, overgrown writhing fertile almost-paths leading to imaginary huts, unstolen statues \u0026amp; circles \u0026amp; patches of unrestrained growth \u0026amp; regrowth \u0026amp; more growth. On the other side beyond the looped tyre track driveway is a big old barn standing uncertainly but forever like glorious pigeon shit cathedral, a couple of sheds for wood, car, miscellaneous parts, bolts \u0026amp; trinkets.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe say hello to Barney the dog and Peter the human while lugging the amps \u0026amp; instruments into the music room where the\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003edrums are and these songs just somehow kept tumbling out. Sometimes we drank a can of beer while we played \u0026amp; sometimes I lost the bits of paper in the wrong pile. Tom \u0026amp; Lisa huddled \u0026amp; worked out the tricky bits while Austen bounded \u0026amp; pounded \u0026amp; bent spirits upwards with his endless stream of unfiltered enthusiasms. The frazzled somehow song forces of\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eour spazzy id’s kept spitting out new wonders and that’s apparently what happened \u0026amp; this is that. That’s also the ineffable, unpredictable \u0026amp; wonky wheel of collaboration turning into the promise of community. Cuticles was a blast and a relief and a release and a direct line to the natural forces of empty afternoons. An entirely Oamaru invention \u0026amp; a beautiful time.”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMatthew Plunkett, Oamaru, Aotearoa \/ New Zealand\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWormwood Grasshopper, 2023\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"naturestripstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43954104926449,"sku":"","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/8859\/0065\/files\/cuticles_pavlova.jpg?v=1695810387","url":"https:\/\/naturestripstore.myshopify.com\/products\/cuticles-pavlova-ep-7","provider":"naturestripstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
