New Zealand indie rock royals, The Bats, have recently had their heads down recording new music and have just announced their 11th full-length album, ‘Corner Coming Up’, out on October 17th via Flying Nun Records.
The Bats are Robert Scott, Kaye Woodward, Paul Kean and Malcolm Grant, the much-loved indie rock band from Aotearoa. Since their inception in Christchurch in 1982, The Bats’ music has earned a devoted following around the world, and they remain one of New Zealand’s most cherished and enduring exports. Their music is a perfect blend of bittersweet beauty and deceptive simplicity, and the band has a phenomenal ability to create melodies that linger long after the record has stopped spinning.
The new album strikes a very distinctive and familiar chord that exists in the hearts of fuzzy-loving hearts of fans all round the world. Throughout their 40 plus years of existence, and now with album number 11 ready to share with the world, The Bats have stayed true to their roots, creating timeless music that continues to resonate with fans old and new.
‘Corner Coming Up’ was recorded at Chicks Studio in Port Chalmers by Flying Nun legend, Tex Houston, and is out digitally, and on vinyl LP and CD on 17th October 2025 via Flying Nun Records.
