Aotearoa's late 90’s hypnotic shoegaze legends Barnard's Star are reissuing their lush self-titled CD of ambient and mellifluous music on vinyl for the very first time, a joint release from Ōtautahi vinyl labels Leather Jacket Records and Pinacolada Records. Barnard's Star was formed in 1996 at Canterbury University, featuring Marcus Winstanley (Minisnap, Cowboy Machine), Nick Guy (Lytteltronics, Torlesse Super Group), Helen Greenfield (Mela, The L.E.D.s) and Tyrone Thorn (SwingingTastyBag). The band hit huge strides in their four active years creating genre-melding music with a dense, spellbindingly atmospheric sound. To celebrate the vinyl release, the band are getting back together for the first time for a 25th Anniversary Reunion Show at Ōtautahi's Space Academy on Saturday 14th December, with support from T.G.Shand.
