Description

The 1987 debut album from New Zealand indiepop pioneers The Bats, Daddy’s Highway has now been re-issued and remastered.

Complete with five bonus tracks from the band’s early EPs, this CD is full of the haunting beauty and bittersweet melodies the four-piece have become so loved for.

One of the outstanding New Zealand albums from the 1980s, from the lo-fi pop hook of ‘North by North’ through to the gentle drone of ‘Tragedy’, Daddy’s Highway displays a quietly powerful sound that immeditedly tugs you in. There is a quirky energy throughout - such as “Block of Wood” - that also glows with shimmering harmonies, whispered vocals, reeling basslines and a sweet sense of despair that is as catchy as it is thought-provoking.

The Bats:
Robert Scott - Vocals/Guitar
Kaye Woodword - Guitar/Vocals
Paul Kean - Bass
Malcom Grant - Drums
