   About Fishrider Records

Fishrider Records is a tiny label based in Dunedin, New Zealand. It is a labour of love for Fishrider's earthly representative. Fishrider, like it's inspiration, the original Mk1 Flying Nun Records, is dedicated to releasing occasional albums by local artists who play unfashionable melodic jangling pop songs with little commercial potential and don't care that Fishrider Records doesn't have a business plan. Fishrider Records released the Dark Beaks "Spill Your Heart" in 2006. It then released the lovely album, "No Love No Hate", by Flying Nun survivors The Puddle late in 2007, followed by "The Shakespeare Monkey" in January 2009.

 


"Beautifully resigned guitar pop...full of the kind of articulate and well-read pop songs that made Henderson's home country the epicentre of literate guitar music in the 1980s and '90s." UNCUT __________________________________________________________________________ "This unexpected new album encapsulates perfectly that distinctly velvety Aotearoan drone-pop sound...the tortoise of New Zealand rock finally honours his forgotten promise." Sunday Times (UK) ___________________________________________________________________________ "The Shakespeare Monkey represents the pinnacle of the indie pop craft in Aotearoa. It's an album that, at 17 tracks long, is best (and easily) absorbed in a single sitting, where its lovely ebb and flow can best be appreciated." * * * * The Southland Times ____________________________________________________________________________ "a heartening return on a 25-year investment. Rich in craftily constructed melodies... it places Henderson squarely where he has long deserved to be: among the pantheon of Kiwi rock deities... it's impossible to deny the charm of these 17 tracks." Otago Daily Times * * * * _____________________________________________________________________________ “Puddle songwriter George D Henderson has absorbed Nick Drake’s melancholy, The Stooges’ raw power, The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band’s desolate psychedelia, The Verlaines’ literate noir and krautrock’s menacing hypnotism to create an epic of vulnerable splendour.” Fire Escape Talking _____________________________________________________________________________ “a new album of shimmering, shambling pop songs which could have come from nowhere else but New Zealand. For anyone lusting after the Flying Nun glory days, this album makes a perfect soundtrack to summer” Real Groove magazine _____________________________________________________________________________
