A collection of non-album singles, tracks recorded for compilations, and new material by the New Zealand based singer-songwriter. “Maxine Funke's music, immediate and entirely unpretentious, suggests a world in which Katherine Mansfield rubs shoulders with Liz Harris, or Vashti Bunyan grows up on the Flying Nun catalog.” Digital Regress “There are times when Maxine Funke’s songs feel so light, it seems as if a heavy sigh could blow them away. But hold that breath, and her curious, knotty guitar quickly takes hold. Bring them on a walk, and the songs take on a kaleidoscopic quality as the shifting improvisations of birds, neighbors, bugs, and traffic peek through her murmured melodies.” Pitchfork Side A Rearview (with Alastair Galbraith) First In Spring Eternity Sandhopper Nicest Thing Make That Dream Blyton Rock Old Lady Blues Side B South Dunedin Room In The City Forest Photographer (with P.
