Amaya Laucirica was born into the rural solitude of Millicent, South Australia. She discovered music was more than a mere distraction, subsequently moving to Melbourne to expand her musical prospects where she recorded a rough five track demo CD. This was to become the basis for her debut album, Sugar Lights. The recordings gained the interest of several notables, including Mick Harvey, who offered assistance with arrangements, and Peter J. Moore, who mastered the album in Canada. Moore has previously produced the Cowboy Junkies, Neko Case and Emmylou Harris.

I was reading about this song somewhere and downloaded it, as you do these days. I fell in love with that lo-fi dark rhythmic sound. It kinda has an up drum beat but the lyrics are so dark. I went out and bought the record — Kaleidoscope World — on vinyl, which is a collection of their early singles. It was the first for me of the Flying Nun bunch, and I’ve had a curiosity for New Zealand pop music ever since.
