Flying Nun Records Music News — Album

"DARTZ will never give up their singular shared goal of writing multiple songs worthy of landing on New Zealand’s next two-CD Nature’s Best Compilation - ditties that will be sung on acoustic guitars at shed parties for centuries to come."

+ FIRST SINGLE/VIDEO ‘MAAT MONS’

"The songs first took shape against a backdrop of complete isolation: Aotearoa New Zealand’s Coromandel Peninsula, entirely deserted in the midst of Covid lockdown. Forced to stand still, the sisters examined various events unfolding in their lives, and began work on a set of songs tapping into a newfound sense of realism, skewed through a lens of soft fantasy."

The Coin that Broke the Fountain Floor is a pivotal album in the creative evolution of sisters Clementine and Valentine Nixon. It finds them leaning further than ever before into collaboration, folklore, poetry, and power.
