Stefan Neville actually complains about comparisons to Alastair Galbraith -- honestly, they have little in common aside from the accent. Galbraith is incredible, but his musical patrons seem to come from the British trad. folk revival, while Pumice owes more to the likes of NZ noise legends, including The Dead C and Birthville Cat Motel, and transatlantic psych-folk luminaries like Richard Youngs or Charalambides.

Galbraith isn't a horrible comparison by any stretch of the imagination -- I certainly see the common ground -- but I think it does the unique Pumice sound a disservice.

CJA/Clayton Noone/The Futurians is another essential listen if you're into Pumice, very much in the same vein.
