It’s lovely when the first review for an album we’ve believed in so much get’s what the music is about … even better that it is from someone on the other side of the world in the UK. Click the image to read the whole review.
Update… January 2012
Here’s some more review quotes for the album:
“The new wave of New Zealand pop begins here… Opposite Sex share with their compatriots a penchant for vernacular psychedelia and lop-sided songwriting….For a debut, it’s remarkable, leaping from sea-sick waltzes and crunchy post-punk to ADD-pop (see the hyper opener “La Rat”) **** (4/5) Uncut (UK)
New release of the day: “The next wave of swoony Dunedin New Zealand pop.” WFMU Radio, New Jersey
“head-nodding, chanting strangeness – the same eerie shimmer that bands like Black Tambourine and The Raincoats achieved… some people will fall in love and defend it to the death” Volume #15
“Where pop and anti-pop collide… Opposite Sex’s debut album is wonderfully curious and weird.” Cheese on Toast
“a record of duality and uniqueness. ..Opposite Sex have created a manic, ever-progressing experiment of peculiar pop. A perplexing, disarming but ultimately fascinating listen.” The Corner
