Leap Year. I would have posted this no matter what, so don’t try to find any leap year meaning here. This deserves a non 2/29 posting...not possible this year.
Fishrider Records is a label out of Dunedin, New Zealand. This label has released The Puddle, The Shifting Sands, and Elan Vital. I would say that all these bands nod to Flying Nun.
Tidal Rave seem like they could have been part of the late 80s/early 90s Flying Nun scene - keyboards, pop songs, ect (The Able Tasmans). Tidal Rave is not derivative...they just sound like they are a band out of time. Some would say they remind them of The Renderers or The Terminals.
