The Wild Poppies - Heroine - 1987
Jangle pop, and from what I've gathered, pretty rare. Heroine is a gorgeous if subtle trip through the pastures New Zealand. Fans of Modern English need to hear "I Don't Need You." The highlight of the album for me is the guitar-work in "Walkabout." Fan-favorite is "This Person," which sounds too much like the Verlaines to me (see video below). Worth your time if you give it your attention.

Just discovered the track "Out of Mind" from the subsequent ep, thanks for the album !
ReplyDeleteManufactured Recordings is reissuing "Heroine" on 2xLP and CD very soon! The release will actually include their full discography: the original album, as well as all the songs from the “Stare at the Sun” 7”, the “Out of Time” EP and even some previously unreleased demo tracks!
