Product Description
Brand New ~ Sealed! First Ever Vinyl Release Of The 2001 New Zealand Rock Classic By Goodshirt! Includes Inner Sleeve.
When ‘Good’ came out in 2001, you might not guess that a record this playful and polished began in a Grey Lynn shed. But that unlikely DIY origin is central to its charm. From the fuzzed-out guitars of “Green” to the understated magnetism of “Sophie”, ‘Good’ captured a kind of off-kilter pop sensibility that felt uniquely New Zealand ~ clever, a bit sideways, and full of hooks. The album built momentum with a string of unlikely hits: “Green,” with its fuzz-pop hook and deadpan refrain; the kinetic “Blowing Dirt”, matched by a one-take video in reverse; and “Place to Be”, a compact, angular pop tune ~ tight, synthy and just a bit weird. But it was “Sophie”, with its minimalist charm and low-key emotional pull, that quietly reached number one and helped turn ‘Good’ into a platinum success. The album spent nearly a year on the NZ charts, helped along by a run of inventive videos that mirrored the music’s off-centre spirit. This first-ever vinyl edition is a chance to hear it again, or for the first time ~ carefully remastered from the original mixes by Murray Fisher, with fresh clarity and warmth, true to the original spirit.
