RATIONAL
For five years the leading independent label in New Zealand has been Flying Nun, bringing the music of predominantly Dunedin-based acts to the country while being based in Christchurch. Now another independent label has been set up, based in Dunedin to record Dunedin acts.
Rational Records has been started by 20-year-old Dunedinite Cameron Olsen. The first release is due out in October, distributed through EMI. It’s a compilation album of local bands, most of which haven’t appeared on record before. On the album are Aardvark, Armalite Hour, Baxters, Craig Watt and His Horse, Let’s Get Naked, the Moon, the Idles, Rhythm Cocktail, the Shorts and the Spaghettis. According to Olsen, “The band's generally represent a large part of the music scene here that is not ‘visible’ to the rest of the country
... those of us involved are confident that the record is of high enough standard to be taken seriously by the national industry.”
Cameron Olsen and Rational Records can be contacted at P O Box 5728, Dunedin.
