Additional information
Shocking Pinks: Nick Harte. Personnel: Mark Frosty McNeill (synthesizer, percussion). Recording information: Cashmere (2004-2006); Cherryblossom (2004-2006); Montreal, Canada (2004-2006); New Zealand (2004-2006). Shocking Pinks is the project of New Zealand pop wunderkind Nick Harte. Raised on a steady diet of shoegaze rock and classic kiwi pop, the young Harte secured a contract with the legendary Flying Nun label. Collected here are remastered tracks from those albums: MATHEMATICAL WARFARE and INFINITY LAND. Combing the hypnotic groove and blissed-out guitar drone of bands like My Bloody Valentine, with the shambolic, rag-tag energy of lo-fi punk, SHOCKING PINKS is a fine introduction to a rising young talent.
Reviews
Spin (p.110) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Revivalist? Sure, but this refreshing, smarter side of the late '80s has yet to be co-opted..." Uncut (p.104) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]here's impressive breadth....Take the cowbell tapping 'Smoke Screen', which updates Liquid Liquid's 'Optimo' with a raw urgency."
