Joel Flyger, Adam Page and David Larson formed their band 2009 with a suite of singles for the legendary Flying Nun soon to follow. Their inherently Kiwi guitar pop is going global, with Carpark Records (Cloud Nothings, Beach House, Toro Y Moi) to release Antipodes in conjunction with Spunk.
Recorded in the basement of a 1930's dancehall, Popstrangers’ first full-length features dissonant, claustrophobic melodies, anchored by the languid affectations of Flyger’s vocals, that bring a vintage feel to their decidedly contemporary garage rock.
Channeling early Radiohead and local heroes The Gordons, 3Ds and The Chills, Antipodes further develops the band’s nuanced, distorted “pop” created and cultivated from years spent honing their craft live.
