David Long's sixth album for Rattle offers a set of songs informed by—while also resisting—the traditional conventions of pop song form. David describes them as ‘handmade songs’. Lyrics and textures overlap a diverse array of acoustic string instruments (banjo, nylon-string guitars, viola caipira, cello) combined with electric guitars and toy synthesisers. Bossanova grooves intersect with electronic pop and nostalgic ballads, and the themes range from the wild and dark side of civilisation to horse races, lost family members, and the often strange declarations adults make to children about the world. “It feels as if these songs have been building up in me over many years, from recollections of my childhood to watching my children grow”, says David. “They're informed by all the joys as well as the heartaches, from learning that we are the sum of all our actions, going back to when we first heard a heartbeat in the womb.”

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 $139. 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.
