An Afternoon With Victor Dimisich

Siltbreeze proudly presents a crucial archival discovery from Christchurch's legendary pre-Flying Nun scene. This unreleased collection, "An Afternoon With Victor Dimisich," rivals the historical importance of The Spies' seminal 1981 recordings. Captured in intimate demo form during early 1981, these stripped-back tracks preserve tender Cogle and Stapleton compositions that might otherwise have been lost to the Pin Group's more overwhelming arrangements. Born from a spare afternoon, a crate of beer, and four musicians' shared affection for dark ballads, these songs represent a fleeting moment of New Zealand music history. Roy Montgomery and Bruce Russell's liner notes provide essential context for this vital document of the era.
