David Kilgour & The Heavy Eights
Amoeba Review
07/28/2020
David Kilgour, a founding member of the seminal New Zealand band The Clean, is back with his latest solo record, a moodily bright gem of '60s textures, and indie sensibilities. Straddling the line between delicacy and roughness, Bobbie's a Girl, delivers a sincerity and intimacy that never feels precious, and brings genuine coolness back to the idea of indie rock. "Looks like I'm running out," with its nonchalant groove and drone-y, staccato guitar solo brings to mind On the Beach-era Neil Young.
