The Wild Poppies - Heroine - 1987

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.
