The Clean - Getaway (CD)

A key album in The Clean discography-a record that honors the band's origins as garage-rock-loving New Zealand kids, excited just by the hum of a good, cheap amplifier. Songs like the twangy, easygoing ""Crazy,"" the jaunty acoustic snippet ""Cell Block No. 5,"" and the trance-inducing ""Circle Canyon"" are more fine examples of Robert Scott and the Kilgour brothers' interest in immediacy and a strong vibe, applied to catchy melodies.
