The Clean is an indie rock band that was formed in Dunedin, New Zealand in 1978. Although they originally disbanded in 1982, they made a comeback in 1988 and continued to tour sporadically thereafter. Tragically, drummer Hamish Kilgour passed away in December 2022.
During the years when they were not active as a band, The Clean continued to release songs, including rare tracks and live recordings. Their influence can be seen in bands such as *The Bats* and *The Verlaines*. In recognition of their contributions to music, The Clean was inducted into the New Zealand Music Hall Of Fame in September 2017.
If you enjoy the music of *The Bats*, *The Verlaines*, or other artists like *David Kilgour* and *Tall Dwarfs*, then you will definitely appreciate the unique sound of The Clean.

Recorded and mixed in two sessions during 1996, The Clean yet again prove to be masters of musical innovation, three guys who can only amaze when they come together and throw all their ideas down on tape. And as a mood of supreme grooviness is all-pervading on Unknown Country, this is The Clean at their most timeless.The odd pop songs focus on the tension and the release that characteristic of psychedlic rock although Champagne and Misery stays close The Clean's canon, Wipe Me I'm Lucky experiments shyly, and Walk Walk is warped like a cartoon soundtrack.
