Further info - the story behind "She's Lost":

In the spirit of "D.I.Y kiwi ingenuity" that makes this country's music so unique and truly innovative, "She's Lost" was entirely initiated and coordinated by independent artists, with the blessings and endorsement of such influential New Zealand songwriters as Chris Matthews (Headless Chickens), Martin Phillipps (The Chills), Ian Morris (Th' Dudes) and many others.

The project was coordinated with no funding, no financial gains or commercial motives, and no major label or corporate support of any kind, but as a genuine tribute to the unique and inspirational music of our home, from a desire to share that inspiration freely with others.

The response to the album during the past week has been overwhelming - a few emails sent to a handful of friends and associates, spreading virally online through word-of-mouth alone, led to thousands of downloads before the project's public launch had even been announced.

With our highest response coming from the U.S, followed by N.Z, Australia and Hong Kong, and now also gaining interest in Europe and Japan, already the album has been described by fans as "the best dark-end compilation ever to come out of New Zealand".

But in our naive and idealistic desire to celebrate New Zealand Music Month, we unwittingly found ourselves up against that very same industry, with the Australian and NZ branches of some of the world's largest music publishers and record companies trying to prevent us from going ahead... why?

Because it's free!
