Me Want Me Get Me Need Me Have Me Love

The album title is a mouthful but 2013’s Me Want Me Get Me Need Me Have Me Love is the one release needed to get the full mid-1980s recorded legacy of New Zealand’s Bird Nest Roys, consisting of an album and an EP both titled after the band as well as a couple of singles, like a cover of the Hollies’ “Bus Stop.” While the sextet’s easy singalong grace and slightly rougher sonic edges mark them as a Flying Nun act, the sextet often inhabit a lyrical world of their own, as songs like “Five Weetabix and Toast,” “Wads Of Pork Fat” and the title track all demonstrate.
