Nun takes flight again

I'm gonna extend Flynn's musical stopover in New Zealand one more day. Though they don't usually get mentioned in the same breath as the classic Flying Nun roster, Straitjacket Fits were indeed quite awesome. I love everything about this song. The tense string trills building up to swirling psych-pop verses and then launching into a brilliant soaring chorus. Then around again. Nice ebb and flow. When they sing 'she rides the wind,' I think I can see what that looks like.
