about

It's been a while between releases, but we're super excited to announce Cuticles vinyl debut, the Pavlova EP. Four bangers on a 45 and a Bandcamp bonus track 'Post Office' (Value!). Here’s some words on the EP by Matthew..

“This EP is a combination of songs from two recordings sessions. It was the cusp of the disease & the giddy rush of our first batch was giving way to a second & third & everything seemed to be pouring out. Every week Austen & I usually drove the combo of hard angled turns & straights out to the wild greens beyond Oamaru & down the final stony road to Lisa’s beautiful big old wonked out home. From the other direction Tom arrived from out Kurow way. The house itself is wolfed by
the sprawling undergrowth, overgrown writhing fertile almost-paths leading to imaginary huts, unstolen statues & circles & patches of unrestrained growth & regrowth & more growth. On the other side beyond the looped tyre track driveway is a big old barn standing uncertainly but forever like glorious pigeon shit cathedral, a couple of sheds for wood, car, miscellaneous parts, bolts & trinkets.

We say hello to Barney the dog and Peter the human while lugging the amps & instruments into the music room where the drums are and these songs just somehow kept tumbling out. Sometimes we drank a can of beer while we played & sometimes I lost the bits of paper in the wrong pile. Tom & Lisa huddled & worked out the tricky bits while Austen bounded & pounded & bent spirits upwards with his endless stream of unfiltered enthusiasms. The frazzled somehow song forces of
our spazzy id’s kept spitting out new wonders and that’s apparently what happened & this is that. That’s also the ineffable, unpredictable & wonky wheel of collaboration turning into the promise of community. Cuticles was a blast and a relief and a release and a direct line to the natural forces of empty afternoons. An entirely Oamaru invention & a beautiful time.”

Matthew Plunkett, Oamaru, Aotearoa / New Zealand
