Gryff, I want your playlist

Have you heard Over The Atlantic?  They're on a New York label, Carpark, but they're New Zealanders, so maybe they're big there?

This song is quite remarkably like The Cars crossed with modern electronica... wait, that's the Postal Service!  Anyway I love it.  Maybe this low-key, kinda slack songs vibe is quite a Kiwi thing?  I get the impression it is.

I got into them via producer / member Signer who does beautiful mellow minimal electronics that probably don't suit your show at all.  Hm.  Actually, do any New Zealanders know about his Involve label?  Looks like it's probably a total niche like Birchville Cat Motel and so on.

Gryff:
Yes indeed. I saw Over The Atlantic play a couple of months ago actually, and I dig their style. In fact, I may just play some on tomorrow's show, which happens to be on in a mere 9 hours, folks.

And yeah, all of those bands are pretty niche even here. Whereabouts are you from? I'm surprised that someone from outside of NZ has heard of them!

fish across face:
Just through label links (Carpark) and being on the internet forever... no special mystery.  I was really into a couple of other things on Carpark, so signed up to their newsletter.

Birchville Cat Motel is big as far as droney business goes!  Do a search on here, you'll see him mentioned a bunch of times.
