David Kilgour (The Clean) Re-issues Sugar Mouth on Flying Nun Records

12 February 2016 - 0 Comments

David Kilgour’s second solo album, Sugar Mouth, is one of the sweetest slices of timeless guitar pop you can taste. Brooklyn Vegan calls the album "terrific...bright jangly guitar pop at its best."

Originally, released on Flying Nun Records in 1994, the album is now set to be re-issued again on gatefold 12” LP and CD on March 18, 2016. The vinyl also comes in a limited edition orange coloured pressing, while the CD and digital versions have been expanded and feature 10 bonus tracks and demos from the original recordings.

LISTEN TO FALL AWAY (DEMO) HERE:

As far as back story goes, David Kilgour is something of a cult figure. As the guitar and voice of left-field trio The Clean and with a slew of nine fantastic solo albums under his belt, he has written the blueprint for much New Zealand indie music.

Indeed, Kilgour’s talent for writing furiously catchy pop music with an understated Kiwi-style aura of ‘60s psychedlia is well-documented. A musician with a timeless way with guitar and song, just like his terrific debut, Here Come The Cars (1992), Sugar Mouth is laden with mesmerizing melodies and shimmering pop brilliance.

However, like all his work there is a dash of sunny melancholy, at times swapping out the guitar fuzz for a touch of acoustic or piano. And, like all his work, it’s ear-catching from the start with No No NoFallaway and Filter perfect examples of Kilgour’s knack for well-crafted but deceptively simple songs. Before the album rollicks on through to the quietly graceful closer - Never End.
