ABOUT THE RELEASES:
Hallelujah - All The Way Home
Stream Phil Too From Hallelujah All The Way Home
The Verlaines 1985 debut album, Hallelujah - All the Way Home defined both the Dunedin band's style and much of the 'Flying Nun sound'. Grounded in songwriter Graeme Downes’ innate and inventive sense of melody, at the heart of these 8 songs are magnificent tales of drunkards and romantics all punctuated by guitar blasts and instrumental flourishes.
Juvenilia
Stream Doomsday From Juvenilia
A compilation of the early singles and EPs, Juvenilia is the perfect introduction to the Dunedin band’s early history. From the irrepressible Death and the Maiden to the perfect love song Joed Out, these ten tracks wield pop hooks filled with all the elegant and magnificently moody elements of the Verlaines. First released in 1987 and reissued on CD in 1993 with bonus tracks, the album also features the band's first two songs, Angela and Crisis After Crisis, recorded on Chris Knox’s infamous four track and released on the Dunedin Double EP.
