Pumice

Poise Etc
** Edition of 300 copies in silkscreened sleeve. ** A collection of Pumice recordings from 1993-99 when teenagers Sugar Jon Arcus and Stefan Neville learned about music by doing it. The album covers the earliest days of the band recording on ghetto blasters with untuneable guitars at home in Whatawhata and Hamilton, NZ.

Magnedisk Recordings Of Gfrenzy Songs

The expanded 2CD version comes with a second CD of remixes and reinterpretations of all 11 tracks…

Quo once more finds Pumice cruising the convergence of pop, folk and noise…
