The album, titled Bullet Train To Dunedin, promises a warm and unpolished sound reminiscent of old home recordings. This album marks a significant departure from their first album, How is a Dog So Honest?. The new tracks, primarily derived from guitarist and vocalist Dom’s demos, are both harder and softer, expanding on the range of their earlier work. The album concept originated from drummer Logan’s whimsical idea of a Japanese bullet train travelling from Britomart station in Auckland to Dunedin, described by the band as “a moment of genius and a passage of jest.” dogs music reviews animals performingarts media vuw education Wed, 26 Jun 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://www.salient.org.nz/post/review-blunt-dog-bullet-train-to-dunedin Salient 2024-06-26T00:00:00Z -41.2941512 174.7755614 San Francisco Bath House, Swan Lane, Te Aro, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6040, New Zealand https://www.wgtn.ac.nz/news/2024/06/watch-free-speech-event The discussion on the role of Universities in supporting freedom of speech took place at Kelburn campus on Tuesday 28 May.
