The Bats - Daddy's Highway (Vinyl)
The 1987 debut album from New Zealand indie-pop pioneers The Bats, Daddy's Highway has now been re-issued and remastered.
This album is full of the haunting beauty and bittersweet melodies the four-piece have become so loved for. One of the outstanding New Zealand albums from the 1980s, from the lo-fi pop hook of North by North through to the gentle drone of Tragedy, Daddy's Highway displays a quietly powerful sound that immediately tugs you in. There is a quirky energy throughout - such as Block of Wood - that also glows with shimmering harmonies, whispered vocals, reeling basslines and a sweet sense of despair that is as catchy as it is thought-provoking.

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.
