LP with download. The 1987 debut album from New Zealand indie-pop pioneers The Bats, 'Daddy's Highway' has now been re-issued and remastered. 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 immediately tugs you in. There is a quirky energy throughout - such as 'Block of Wood' - that also glows with shimmering harmonies, whispered vocals, reeling baselines and a sweet sense of despair that is as catchy as it is thought-provoking.
