Definitely buying that book. I can't seem to find a complete Flying Nun discography online unless someone can vouch for stuff on Discogs sorted by year.

I guess you could cross-check with the catalogue on the FN website but it'd be a nightmare:https://www.flyingnun.co.nz/collections/flying-nun-catalog
And of course you're missing out on all the important related stuff on other local labels (Xpressway, Propeller etc.)

Flowertruck - 'Pretending'
I've had Flowertruck in my head since this was on Rage on the weekend. Apparently from Sydney with a not insignificant discography already. I now see their bio cites Orange Juice and Talking Heads as influences, almost as if they were algorithmically constructed to get me on the bandwagon. YMMV, etc. (My first hunch was that they might actually be New Zealanders but I suspect the goofiness merely brought to mind this awesome Bressa Creeting Cake video lol.)

Charles from Flowertruck also has an extremely likeable solo synth-pop project called Greenwave Beth

Actually it might technically be a duo! But last time I saw GB it was just Charles

Thanks! Listening now. Definitely likeable.
