David Kilgour & Sam Hunt "Falling Debris" 2008

A new album from David Kilgour is always cause for a celebration - The Clean frontman and respected solo artist has been making consistently good records for almost 30 years now…...However, with 'Falling Debris' he can't (and doesn't) take all of the credit himself. For this record David wrote and recorded all the music to the words of another iconic Kiwi - poet and national treasure Sam Hunt! Following an accidental meeting in Dunedin airport in 2007, Kilgour and Hunt hatched a plan to record an album of musical spoken word together. However, when Kilgour sat down and began singing Hunt's poems, he realised he was being inspired to write better & better music to accompany these special turns of phrase. Sung and played entirely by Kilgour and his band The Heavy Eights (Hunt never appears), 'Falling Debris' is the sound of a band already at one with each other - and 2 of NZ's most revered creative figures collaborating on some of the most affecting indie pop this side of a Clean album! Valuable, serendipitous and very highly recommended. - amazontrax:
