"Stink Magnetic Records emerged like a swamp monster from the depths of Palmerston North's underground music scene all the way back in 1998, and continues to let its independent freak flag fly with this week's surprise drop of three killer compilations, named South Pacific Surf Trash, Stink Times At Castle Magnetula and Twelve & A Half Country Greats. Each themed collection shines a spotlight on different facets of Stink Magnetic's musical crystal – presenting new material alongside crucial tunes from throughout the Aotearoa imprint's vast catalogue. As the titles suggest, South Pacific Surf Trash delivers an overdose of fuzzed-out wave-riding good times, Twelve & A Half Country Greats straps on a cowboy hat for a soulful saunter through tenderhearted territory, and Stink Times At Castle Magnetula busts out a fast and furious soundtrack for ghoulish ragers." - Under the Radar
