Music News - Kane Strang to release Blue Cheese on Flying Nun
19 January 2016 - 1 Comment
Kane Strang’s first proper album, Blue Cheese, picks up on the rough
disaffection of his earlier demo collection, A Pebble and a Paper Crane, which
he recorded in a WWII bomb shelter in Germany. Back in his hometown of Dunedin,
New Zealand, Strang spent two curious months alone, housesitting for his
parents. Re-nested, yet still isolated, Strang composed all of Blue Cheese over
those quiet days.
Lead-off track The Web channels pummelling bass lines punctuated by a
twinkling synth that calls upon microscopic pop principalities of restlessness
(“Yeah, I met someone else / Without leaving my little house / No, I haven’t
held her yet / I met her on the internet”).
Listen to the
first single Full Moon, Hungry Sun here.
Its abrupt ending parallels Strang’s own disconnect. She’s Appealingweaves Day-Glo guitar motifs into distant, detached ’80s garage pop vocals.Never Kissed a Blonde is driven by a slapping delay on both vocals and
guitar. Strang’s path toward a melody is always surprising, and he never misses
a hit-on-the-head-obvious-in-retrospect memorable line.
Strang has amassed a band and has started playing his distinct psych-pop live,
including a tour in June 2015 and a memorable set at The Others Way Festival.
Blue Cheese is
released in New Zealand and Australia on Vinyl, CD and digitally on Flying Nun and
distributed via Flying Out.
The album is released in the US/Europe on Badabing Records.
Pre-orders are
available now via Flying Out.
Singer-songwriter Kane Strang is from Dunedin, New Zealand, and
the echoes of that city's musical heritage (The Chills, The Clean, The Verlaines) can be heard in his breezy, bouncy
guitar pop. He's not regurgitating the past, though, and he's carved out his
own sound already despite being a very new artist. - Brooklyn Vegan
Strang knows how to create pop that is
familiar and fresh with just enough repetition to stay on the good side of a
slightly peculiar sound. - Wind Honey Pie
