Description:
This documentary chronicles the story of Flying Nun Records, the influential New Zealand indie label, through its first 21 years. The label fostered the "Dunedin Sound," a distinctive style of DIY, post-punk guitar-pop characterized by its sprawling, warped, and jangly melodies. Featuring interviews with founder Roger Shepherd and numerous key figures, the film explores both the challenges and triumphs of the label. Its impact on the American indie scene is highlighted, including a notable cover of The Verlaines by Pavement's Stephen Malkmus.
