Pure

Separate from his involvement in The Clean, The Great Unwashed, and The Chills, NZ's own Peter Gutteridge's only solo album, 'Pure', displays a simplistic, raw sound that oozes personality and checks off all our lo-fi requirements. From the twitchy, simple drum machine beats to the distorted and dissonant sounds he loves, to his clever hooks and haunting vocals, this album covers a wide range of styles, from off-key additions reminiscent of The Durutti Column, to pulsing, Suicide-inspired rockers, and even cheerful machine-made tunes.
