A few more gems from New Zealand:
Before Neutral Milk Hotel's Jeff Magnum was having nervous breakdowns in reaction to "fame", the Tall Dwarves were making ingenious lo-fi pop gems south of the equator. Chris Knox of the Tall Dwarves later invited Magnum to play in NZ with them. It would have been brilliant to see.
Peter and Graeme Jefferies are two brothers from Aukland. They had a band called Nocturnal Projections. They went on to do separate things.
Peter mostly did piano type stuff. I had a chance to see him at the Bottom of the Hill some years ago, and all I can remember from that show was how bombed he was. He almost fell out of his chair a couple of times...it was a BBQ show in the afternoon....oh those Kiwis...
Listen to this song while reading or taking a bath.
Graeme Jefferies went on to do more experimental stuff with "This Kind of Punishment" and later, a more conventional group called "Cakekitchen".
