The Indifferent Velvet Void


The Indifferent Velvet Void is only the second full-length solo album by Alec Bathgate, despite a long career as one half of Tall Dwarfs and co-founder of New Zealand punk bands The Enemy (New [Zealand band)|The Enemy] and Toy Love. It was released in 2004 on Lil' Chief Records.
All but one of the songs on the album were written by Bathgate. The remaining track, "Overundersidewaysdown", is a cover of a track by The Yardbirds.
