Temple IV
“Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible. Today we revisit an overlooked 1995 record from the experimental New Zealand guitarist, a psychedelic invocation of drone, noise, and the spiritual beyond.”
R M H Q: Headquarters
“In the early ’80s, New Zealand’s Roy Montgomery was part of foundational Flying Nun band the Pin Group. His first solo work since 2001 is a 4xLP set that, at its best, plays like a shadowy dream.”
Guitars Infernal
“The New Zealand guitarist recorded these abrasive instrumentals a decade ago in response to personal turmoil. Dedicated now to our endangered planet, they feel as urgent now as they must have then.”
Suffuse
“After tentative vocal experiments on 2016’s R M H Q, the New Zealand guitarist crafts an entire album around guest singers, all women, in which he progressively blurs the traces of his own handiwork.”
Hey Badfinger
“Roy Montgomery made some of the most innovative music to come out of New Zealand in the 1980s and 90s, exploring post-punk, drone, and solo guitar, but practically vanished at the turn of the century. He returns with a trebling, chiming score to an imaginary movie about 60s Britrockers, Badfinger.”
