Still Bewitched

Released

The 1991 Compilation release originally brought together the three EPs Look Blue Go Purple released during its too short life, but 2017’s Still Bewitched does the band a better service by putting the track order back together to reflect those original EP releases as well as adding a clutch of live tracks as a welcome bonus. The quintet’s striking sound, at once recognizably New Zealand indie rock of the era and something more besides thanks to such factors as Norma O’Malley’s flute conveys an immediacy that lasts, carving out a distinct space all its own.
