![]() Join John and Marc as they drop the needle on a Kiwi indie rock classic and reflect on what makes The Clean and Flying Nun Records so special.Ībout The Spindle: The 7-inch record isn’t just a format-it’s an art form. Reflecting on the band in light of the recent passing of drummer Hamish Kilgour, our own Marc Masters called the band's songs "charmingly rough and buoyantly catchy."
