God defend New Zealand God defend the Drrty South *waves Larnach Castle around before popping to Port Chalmers for a craft beer*. Studio albums only. Good band. |

The Dead C
with time i've realised that this surriptiously their masterpiece, though good luck uncurling the origami |
| 2 |  | The Dead C
The White House
the best introduction to their bursts of freely-formed noise; sonic youth seen from the other side of a mobius strip; notable for being the most searingly delicate and tender of their works, beneath the bravado |

The Dead C go Pop: never have they been more sincere, which isn't to say the album lacks stridency. |

never has their Modus Operandi, i.e. excoriation and subversion of rock tropes, inquiries into aggressive formlessness that coalesce, making the indeterminate determined, and incredible builder's cracks, been on so prominent display |

"Sensei, what's your favourite Dead C album?" "Patience, young grasshopper" |
