well great news, here's an awesome new jangly, fuzzed-out track from the antipodes, The World Pages is from Wellington-based indie/guitar pop artist Lowlands {Tobias Brockie, formerly Rhinoceros Brave} off his new "The World Pages" digital 7" (2011).
Lowlands totally reaffirms/bolsters my faith in the New Zealand indie music scene, a romantic belief that there are still in fact some great new musicians lurking out there in dingy flats, working away diligently, meticulously honing their skills et experimenting in their bedrooms et creating/producing some amazing et unique music that is not "radio friendly" or funded {or faux-funded} by nzoa! there seems to be some really great music coming out of the windy city {Glass Vaults}, it's making me jealous {although winter is almost upon us so not that jealous}.
The World Pages is cast from the same mold of catchy well crafted, jangly, guitar pop that came to define the "Dunedin sound", yet Brockie manages to successfully add his own influences et unique voice into the mix to produce a beautifully considered et paced, melancholy-tinged, power pop jam! enjoy!!!

the fantastic three track digital 7" is available for free download from the uber-cool French label Beko dsl {digital singles lable}, or from Lowlands bandcamp page, you can also head over the Lowlands/ex Rhinoceros Brave soundcloud page et hear a bunch more tracks from Brockie's impressive "Dark Star Athena" EP (2010) which is well worth getting your hands on!
