Pigeonheart, the first new album from DM Stith since 2009's Heavy Ghost, is engrossed with ideas of transmutation and transfiguration, and expands his brilliant hermetically sealed world with the help of producer, Ben Hillier (Blur, Nadine Shah). The record is built, once again, around David's remarkable voice, but electro-acoustics and modular synthesizers flesh out these songs with deep canyons of bass, electronic static, and vibrations of hammering heartbeats.

2018 repress of these undated 1970s recordings, repro of the original Pioneer International version. "The Maytones is still one of those highly regarded names in the history of reggae music and upon listening to what they recorded in the golden era it's easy to see why. Pearl after pearl, the group delivered the goods time and time again. A word like 'timeless' is truly a cliché in describing the sweet two-male harmony sounds of this group, but it fits perfectly when talking of The Maytones work from that period and many other constellations of their ilk. Vernon Buckley and harmony singer Gladstone Grant started what was to become a very successful career as a harmony group back home in May Pen, a town in the parish of Clarendon, and The Maytones was just one of many excellent duos from Jamaica that sprung from the early reggae era, with the difference that they stayed on top for a longer time than most competitors at the time."

"This 28-track double LP compilation collects all the A and B sides of the three Toy Love singles, plus the best demos from 1979, a live track, and even a radio jingle - all mastered for vinyl, straight from the original analogue tapes. Housed in a gatefold jacket, a 24 page booklet accompanies the release with photos, ephemera, and commentary from Toy Love. The back cover features a sketched cartoon of an early Toy Love flyer drawn by Chris Knox. Evolving from Dunedin band The Enemy, Toy Love had a brief but bright existence between January 1979 and September 1980. Invoking the ghost of punk and the melody and creativity of '60-'70s pop, they were peerless at a time when New Zealand music was still struggling to imprint itself on the national consciousness. They became a model for local musicians around the country and inspired the birth of Flying Nun Records -- a label which many from the band went on to work with, including Chris Knox and Alec Bathgate with the Tall Dwarfs and Paul Kean with The Bats. Then, in 2005 Flying Nun released Cuts, a double CD anthology of Toy Love material. Electrifying and unmissable, Toy Love made an impact on all who saw then, and continue to do so around the world today."
