| The Dead C Ranked
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. | | 1 |  | The Dead C
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 | | 3 |  | The Dead C
Tusk
The Dead C go Pop: never have they been more sincere, which isn't to say the album lacks stridency. | | 4 |  | The Dead C
Future Artists
In the year 3017 this will make perfect sense, until then we have some demystification to do | | 5 |  | The Dead C
Trapdoor Fucking Exit
rrr rrr rREAL WORLD rr rr rre REAL WORLDDDDD | | 6 |  | The Dead C
Trouble
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 | | 7 |  | The Dead C
Patience
"Sensei, what's your favourite Dead C album?" "Patience, young grasshopper" | | 8 |  | The Dead C
Eusa Kills
childish wonder at cacophony insistent that there's nothing to learn, no salutary lessons to impart | | 9 |  | The Dead C
Secret Earth
shh. gentle. | | 10 |  | The Dead C
Harsh 70s Reality
bookended by two of their best tracks; it's the middle that's the problem | | 11 |  | The Dead C
Clyma Est Mort
*yawn* | | 12 |  | The Dead C
Armed Courage
quality deteriorates with each listen :( | | 13 |  | The Dead C
The Operation of the Sonne
genuinely dreadful | | 14 | | The Dead C
43 sketch for a poster

02.05.17 | saving DR503 for my next Dunedin trip @lonesome u in | owen
02.06.17 | how have I never heard of this band? Listening to DR503 right now | Winesburgohio
02.06.17 | dude they're so so good, i often wonder how they translate though because i feel they evoke a very specific echolocation of NZ's south | Havey
02.06.17 | where to start with "dunedin sound" | Supercoolguy64
02.06.17 | DR503 is a classic, Eusa Kills is ok, never listened to anything else | Jots
02.06.17 | 10 might be my fav Dead C. the Gate project thing has a rly good album too iirc. i like 2 a lot too | Winesburgohio
02.06.17 | Gate is so good, he opened for GYBE and wiped the floor with them even though the crowd were getting impatient lmao
@Havey: consider moving to Dunedin or listening to 6sixty's "don't forget your roots" on repeat... cheers | Astral Abortis
02.06.17 | 10 is my favourite but it's hard to go wrong with them
I've always considered making a dunedin sound list | Winesburgohio
02.06.17 | do it my dude jangle your way into a feature |
