The New Existentialists - Bad Astrology (Vinyl)
George D Henderson, formerly the main creative force of 90’s Dunedin legends The Puddle, has been making underground pop and rock gems in New Zealand for 50 years – with The Spies, The And Band, The Puddle, Mink, and, since 2012, with Auckland outfit The New Existentialists.
Bad Astrology, the first album by The New Existentialists to be released on vinyl, is an exploration of our times, songwriting focussed on themes of internet decay, environmental disaster, alienation, cultural evolution, mysticism, existentialism, romance, across some good riffs and memorable tunes. This definitive twelve-song collection, lovingly arranged and produced over a three-year period, shows where and how a rock vision spawned in the 1970's can find itself today, with excursions into freakbeat, doom metal, and softcore that'll take you all the way out to the psych pop edge of tomorrow.
Tracks include Last Days of the Internet and INVOCATION and the first recording of Conflict w/t Authorities, a song George wrote in 1979 for The Spies. The album includes guest appearances from fellow underground legends Cosmo Potts, Brother Love, and Duane Zarakov.

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.
SHIPPING
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.
