'Unknown Country', the third LP by New Zealand indie band The Clean, was originally released in 1996. Whilst they are generally known for their jangle-pop nuggets, this sprawling masterpiece is the result of studio experimentation and spontaneous recording sessions. Gorgeous instrumental tracks such as 'Wipe Me, I'm Lucky' and 'Franz Kafka at the Zoo' are interspersed with wonky pop gems such as the Pavement-esque 'Twist Top'. For fans of The Bats and The Chills.
