OLLA Septic Hagfish (Flying Nun) . Crunchy, raw, dirty low-fi recording like old-style Flying Nun, demented guitar scoring itself into the ground, vocals strung out to dry, the whole instense couple of minutes ending in a weird staccato sonic scrawl, ten out of ten. Three tracks on the B side ('Bitch', 'Don't Fall Too Hard 7 , 'Olla Putrido 7 ) also highly interesting. : QUEEN MEANIE PUSS The Beauty of Dogs (Flying Nun) A four track seven inch EP from this group of four women from Grey Lynn who reject the cliched implications of such definitions. The/re aiming for a heavy sound but still, there's no getting around the fact that this is not Black : Sabbath. Some of the lyrical preoccupations and the mood of suppressed rage can't help but give . this record a Woman's Show flavour. Putting aside my sexist prejudices for a minute, the music is interesting — strange guitar lines, elusive drums, vocal styles fluctuating within the songs, the mood flaring up into unsettling bursts of aural intensity. Definitely one of Flying Nnn's more thought . provoking recent releases, but not as thrilling as expected. » SHONA LAING Walk Away (42nd Street) (Sony) Not exactly her most distinguished outpourings to date, these songs suffer from lack of inspiration. Title track Walk Away' boils down to one refrain endlessly repeated while the mood on all three tracks is downbeat, if not downright depressing on 'Rainbow 7 These tracks might pass as choruses, but I imagine Shona Laing fans would expect something more incisive in her, songs. .
