Description
High Dependency Unit emerged from Hawke's Bay before establishing themselves in Dunedin, developing a sonic palette as formidable and immersive as their influential predecessors. Captured during a creatively fertile period, the Higher EP (1997) showcases HDU's uncompromising approach to composition and performance. This 2025 12" reissue has been meticulously remastered by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Service, restoring the original's textural depth and dynamic range. Endorsed by the late John Peel and recognised as a pivotal work within New Zealand's post-rock and experimental canon, Higher stands as essential listening for those invested in the country's alternative music heritage.
