Shocking Pinks are a band formed by Nick Harte and based in New Zealand. Dream pop? How about just cool!!! The Shocking Pinks’ gigging lineup has featured over sixteen members and various line-up changes since its inception in late 2003, often due to personal or creative differences within the band. Really this is a one man band, just check out the documentary below. This guy doesn’t know how good he is. The lo-fi principles are hugely influential. Harte’s vocals are whispery and fragile, sometimes delivered with a slight lisp. He plays all the instruments himself! The tragic synths and all.
