"Lovely Midget is Rachel Shearer, an integral player in the New Zealand underground. Performing with Kiwi bands Angelhead and Queen Meanie Puss during the 1990s, Rachel entrenched her sound in the ears of adventurous stateside record collectors, recording for labels like Flying Nun, Xpressway and Siltbreeze. Since becoming Lovely Midget in 1995, Rachel has created a transcendent world of shivering ambient sounds, distant ruptures and warm washes of analog sheen. Building pieces around aching tube equipment, and delicate strokes of guitar, bass, percussion and vocal hum, Lovely Midget's international appeal has far surpassed her meager output. Somehow crossing the paths of Brian Eno to Jason Lescalleet and Elanie Radigue to François Bayle with a personal intimacy and the lovingly woven aural tapestries New Zealand has become known for. North Head brings together two years of recording to reinstate Lovely Midget as a sublime aural architect of a new order."
