The Courtneys - The Courtneys
Though inspired by classic Flying Nun and C86 era bands, as well as Teenage Fanclub, Pavement, and Eddy Current Suppression Ring, The Courtneys’ sound is not tied to one single era. A penchant for pop craft collides with the trio’s underlying punk aesthetic, resulting in slacker rock that’s at once sweet and subtle. The songs are the result of a passionate collaborative songwriting process that combines drummer/lead singer Jen Twynn Payne's (Cute Courtney) heartfelt lyrics, which are delivered with a powerful vocal style, Courtney Loove's (Classic Courtney) dreamy power-pop inspired guitar riffs, and Sydney Koke's (Crazy Courtney) driving basslines.
It is clear to hear why The Courtneys felt at home in New Zealand when they first toured there in the summer of 2015 and joined the Flying Nun roster. Their commitment to the fine balance of pop and idiosyncratic indie guitar music finds lineage between The Clean, Look Blue Go Purple, The Bats while diving deeper into the fuzzy world of the likes of Bailterspace.
Track List:
- Nu Sundae
- Manion
- Insufficient Funds
- 90210
- Delivery Boy
- K.C. Reeves
- Dead Dog
- Social Anxiety

Info columns
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.
