Goldenhorse Essentials

By the time Goldenhead released their 2002 debut album, Riverhead, the band had already crafted their trademark sound—a heady combination of sun-kissed, jangly guitars and sweet, crystalline vocals of Kristen Morrell. The album broke a record by taking an entire year to reach number one in their home country New Zealand. The group kept on keeping on with 2005's Out of the Moon, expanding on their Sundays-meets-Belle and Sebastian pop base. The band's third album—a dark and captivating set titled Reporter—was issued in 2007. Get lost in the hazy delights of the glowing New Zealand alt band, with this career-spanning playlist.
