New Zealand Lo-Fi Trash. Northland is real rumbling bliss! Some droney harmionias, distorted pop tunes and acoustic folk.

...the eccentric, flummoxing and oft-gloomy one-man band helmed by Stefan Geoffrey Neville, a resident of the cultural hamlet of Auckland, New Zealand.  Though Pumice’s skewed take on experimental folk and pop songwriting is firmly rooted in the outsider vibes of downunder stalwarts like Pip Proud and Alastair Galbraith...

Yeahnahvienna was conceived and recorded during an artist residency in Vienna in 2004. Neville's precariously arranged arsenal of cassettes, chord organ, vocals, drums and guitar has yielded a fragile and fractured masterwork. A stark and melancholic affair, calling to mind Alastair Galbraith, Sun City Girls and Supreme Dicks. Through Neville's layers of hiss and murk lie beautifully stirring & shambolic downer hymns.
