11/15/23.
Purchased by Ian Henderson (Fishrider Records/Pop Lib) and Thokei Tapes, Hiss Explosion had my immediate attention. Add to it that a Bandcamp buyer added, "An all time Dunedin classic. Essential listening for disciples of Kilgour." And then there is a cover of David Kilgour's "What You Should Be Now".
While Mike Brassell clearly loved The Clean, et. al, this is clearly his own work and adds other Kiwi sounds - Jean-Paul Sarte Experience and Snapper are two other influences I hear.
Funny thing...Mike Brassell was actually from Christchurch. The drummer on this release is Peter Mitchell - formerly of The Renderers.
Sadly, Mike passed away in 2004. His son is maintaining this Bandcamp page.

Studying linguistics is actually so wonderful because when you explain youth slang to older professors, instead of complaining about how "your generation can't speak right/ you're butchering the language" they light up and go “really? That’s so wonderful! What an innovative construction! Isn't language wonderful?"
