Every time I come back to NZ, I visit an independent "record store" - and buy pretty much every NZ CD which came out since I was last in-country.
This time, I did a little research before hand (VERY little - I checked the NZ Music Awards shortlist)
On visiting the store - I find the two "top" artists of the year, didn't release on CD - only vinyl, with MP3 downloads included? An interesting way to go... but fuck, I need a job if I'm going to finally go into vinyl.
Anyway, some of the more notable artists of 2019...
Benee - yeah, probably not the cup-o-tea of the old-white-guys/hot-young-polish-girls here - but she's talented, catchy, modern
Avantdale Bowling Club - haven't heard much, but from what I have - although they were the top award winner - fairly bland NZ hip-hop
The Beths - seem to be a solid resurgence of the Flying Nun pedigree
Six60 - I've never bothered buying an album. From what I've heard - the blandest of bland "NZ BBQ dub"
Marlon Williams - good at what he does (crooning) - but not much to distinguish himself from the rest of the worldAll that said - as I say, I love to support and buy up NZ music when I'm home, so... - any suggestions I give any of the above another chance, or recommendations of other recent (or older) music - appreciated.

@MN5 Kimbra doesn’t get a enough love for being a hot chick.
Shit's fucked up.
Cos she has an amazing set of lungs.

The Exponents may be many things, but
If someone says, " I don't know"
Someone else will say "o-o-o, why does.love, do this too me"
Fucking. Anthem
But i like Who Loves Who The Most more

They have been responsible for some great music.
As a child of the 80s, who can forget the Mockers

Neil Finn is a total legend, he's written so many great songs. I'll pick two, message to my girl and Don't Dream its over. Timeless
Saw Neil & Tim performing at the Royal Albert Hall 2005. They did "Don't Dream it's Over" & "Charlie" with no amplification, just their voices, two guitars and one spotlight.
You genuinely couldn't hear a pin drop.
