Listeners for whom the tag \u00e2\u20ac\u0153New Zealand indie rock\u00e2\u20ac\u009d brings to mind the Flying Nun sound of bands like The Clean and The Chills may be surprised to find Warm Blood\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s five unstoppable tunes landing closer to artists like Slant 6 and The Breeders. The nimble guitar work here moves from heavy riffing reminiscent of Sleater-Kinney to hazily bending lines that would make Stephen Malkmus and Mary Timony beam, while the joyous vocal harmonies from all four members bubble and swell to ecstatic crescendos that channel The Zombies\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Odessey and Oracle. With impeccable production from guitarist Jonathan Pearce and stellar musicianship across the board, Warm Blood is a non-stop delight.
