The Dunedin Sound of indie pop music, Hamish Kilgour's psych-inflected guitar-pop tunes and Emily Riordan's mix of wistfulness and boundary-pushing musical textures is making its way to the Dome.
Kilgour was a founding member of The Clean who are said to have been a major part of New Zealand record
label Flying Nun's success.
Now a full-time resident in New York, Kilgour's latest solo album, Finklestein, explored textural percussive effects in its songs but the sound of The Clean still permeates much of the album.
Riordan's dreamy, melancholic soft pop can be heard in her latest album Waves.
“The opening tune Angel begins with chords on keyboards and guitar strummed and left for a bar, while a scratchy needle on vinyl sound builds up before the percussion begins,” writes Darryl Baser on musicnet.
