The Clean's pre-eminent place in Flying Nun lore comes down to two factors - their unchallengeable position as the band that started it all 21 years ago, and the group's absolute dedication to free-flowing chemistry and musical experimentation in the pursuit of creating incredible records.
The importance of the former and the influence of the latter over a huge stream of musicians in New Zealand and around the world ever since cannot be under-estimated.
Unknown Country debuted in the Official New Zealand Top 40 Albums on 5 April 2021. It has been in the Top 40 Albums for one week with a highest position of #39. There are two albums by The Clean in the Top 40 Albums.
