SNEAKS - Gymnastics
$47.00
Regular price $30.00Everything about Gymnastics, Sneaks 2016 debut, is just impossibly cool. Her post-punky sound comprises, for the most part, literally just a drum track, a bass, and her voice. Thanks to her seemingly effortlessly excellent sense of melody, this works like ultra-minimalist magic.
Spending a couple seconds making you sit up in intrigue at the very beginning of opener ‘Tough Luck’, the intrigue turns into a 'fuck this is cool' the moment the main bass riff kicks in. This bass being barely treated heightens your sense of DIY-ness too - the occasional bass notes being only-just in time or only-just in tune gives it a sense of closeness and a brilliantly real, human feel. This is DIY at its best.
Tracklist:
A1 Tough Luck 1:34
A2 X.T.Y. 1:51
A3 New Taste 1:32
A4 No Problem 0:42
A5 Red 1:05
B1 Down In The Woods 0:53
B2 True Killer 1:22
B3 This Is 1:34
B4 Figure 8 1:13
B5 Someone Like That 2:04

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.

Flying Nun offers free shipping in Aotearoa New Zealand on orders over $80. We have record stores in both Auckland and Wellington and will ship your record from whichever store is nearest. We aim to pack send your order next business day. Pick ups are also available from both stores.
