Beatin Hearts

Bill Direen, the New Zealand underground legend, is known for his impressive works in poetry, novels, and music. He began producing mesmerizing seven-inch records in the early '80s, which were later reissued by Unwucht label. Beatin Hearts is his debut album, marking Flying Nun's first full-length release, with seventeen brilliant tracks showcasing energy, harmony, and angst. This is the genesis of one of the greatest music scenes ever.
