The Flying Nun Collection
Music Video Magic
Flying Nun is synonymous with Kiwi indie music, and DIY bottom-of-the-world creativity. This collection celebrates the label's ethos, manifested in the music videos. It is selected by label founder Roger Shepherd, who writes about how "a general style may have loosely evolved ... due to limited budgets and correspondingly unlimited imaginations." Meanwhile, Brent Hansen discusses Flying Nun’s enduring popularity, and Russell Brown spotlights the creative edge of iconic videos.
