About this album

Dizrythmia is the album that sharpened Split Enz’s strange, inventive pop into a breakthrough statement. Released in 1977, it pushed the New Zealand band closer to the art-rock and new-wave currents that would define their reputation, while keeping the melodic invention and theatrical edge that made them stand out from their peers. With tracks such as My Mistake and Bold As Brass, the record balances hook-driven songwriting with off-kilter arrangements and an irreverent sense of character. As one of the band’s key early albums, it helped establish Split Enz as one of Australasia’s most distinctive and forward-looking groups.

Genre: Pop & Rock
