New Zealand duo Tall Dwarfs have an outsized influence on the world of lo-fi and experimental rock. Merge records has released Unravelled, a collection of songs from the band ranging from 1981’s Three Songs EP up to 2002’s The Sky Above the Mud Below LP. All songs are selected by member Alec Bathgate, and represent the broad range and styles the band would create music from.
The anthology is available as a digital download, 2 CD set, or 4 vinyl LP set over at the Merge Records Bandcamp page.
the white drew carey (aka – Jeff Sorley) is the founder and head editor of TGEFM. He’s lived (outside of) Chicago, Madison WI, (ugh) Penn State, Lyon FR, Oxford UK, central New Jersey, and now within earshot of SFO in the Bay Area. When not scouring the web for more great bands and labels to post about, he also spends time drawing (mostly) silly sci-fi and anime stuff under the name Asplenia Studios.
