From his earliest days as a member of the fabled Clean onward, singer/songwriter David Kilgour stood among the to the highest degree significant figures on the New Zealand pop out landscape. A native of Dunedin, Kilgour first emerged in 1979 as the guitarist of the Clean, the extremely influential trio he co-founded with his drummer brother Hamish; when the grouping disbanded trey years later, the brothers reunited in the Great Unwashed, which proven even shorter-lived. After a few eld out of music, the mercurial Kilgour formed Stephen, a trio that likewise included former Goblin Mix bassist Alf Danielson and drummer Geoff Hoani; the chemical group released a 1989 EP titled Dumb, only roger Sessions for a full-length LP were deserted when Kilgour signed on with a re-formed Clean. When the Clean again disbanded, Kilgour briefly coupled Snapper earlier finally departure solo in 1990. A yr by and by he recorded the pastoral, melodious Here Come the Cars; the follow-up, the trouble-plagued Carbohydrate Mouth, appeared in 1994. That yr too brought about some other Clean reunion, and Kilgour began recording and touring with his previous mates once again. Modern Rock was released in late 1995, followed by Unknown Country in 1996. The chemical group disbanded after that disc and Kilgour returned to his solo career, cathartic David Kilgour & Heavy Eights in 1997. The Clean returned so far once more in 2000, touring and cathartic Lam on American indie giant star Merge Records. Kilgour and Merge distinct to flummox together when the Clean inevitably went their classify shipway once again and the label issued A Feather in the Engine in 2001. That same class his condition as one of the prime Minister figures in New Zealand music was cemented when he was made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit, an honour like to the English OBE. In 2004 Merge released Frozen Orange, perhaps his strongest criminal record yet and a testament to his ability to sound fresh after many, many age on the indie rock salt mine. The follow-up, 2006's The Far Now, continues Kilgour's string of under-appreciated (everywhere only in New Zealand, that is) gems.
