Listen to this programmeNew Horizons for 1 July 2012 (duration: 58′17″)
William reviews new releases from local New Zealand acts:
James Duncan - Vanishing
... "There's a certain obsessional quality to the way that Duncan's music grows ... the temptations for a studio based musician are a little like those of a painter in oils, compared to the irretrievable moves of a watercolourist."
Opossom - Electric Hawaii
... "the new album from the Mint Chicks' Kody Neilson, and it delivers songs that cover a staggering range of music."
The Shifting Sands - Feel
... "a new album from Michael McLeod. In its way it's a bit of a [Dunedin] starfest with Robbie Yeats ... David Kilgour... Jay Clarkson... Lesley Paris ... Robert Scott."
He winds up with a track from the latest Kiwi Hit Disc, a taster for Lawrence Arabia's new album.

William Dart's Track Record
New Horizons has been on air for over thirty years. Its first broadcast in April 1980 was heralded by a cover on the New Zealand Listener. The albums featured on that cover - albums by Ry Cooder, XTC, The Kinks and Ray Davies, Sparks, Randy Newman, Lou Reed, Joni Mitchell, Elvis Costello and Jonathan Richman - were chosen by William. The artists have mostly continued to have flourishing careers and have been featured many times on the programme over the years. It just goes to show that William knows how to pick'em.
