Able Tasmans - Hey Spinner!

A dreamy definitive example of that New Zealand sound commodity. Lighter and more psyche than what you may expect, making it a nice easy endeavor. Would fit in well with that Paisley Underground feel. Very melodic and very layered with just enough reverb to take the edge off. Feel a little Love here too.

Allmusic:
On this mini-album this obscure New Zealand group delivers some of their best upbeat Byrds-esque guitar pop on record. Of the five albums they produced in the late '80s/early '90s, the signature of their sound is the keyboard-driven melody, subtle acoustic arrangements, and propulsive rhythm section. The sound is quite close to a more folk-sounding Stereolab, with vocal harmonies from the Brian Wilson songbook.
