Minisnap - Bounce Around (2007)

The album "Bounce Around" is the debut solo project of Kaye Woodward (Minisnap), the 25-year guitarist for the well-known New Zealand band The Bats. The record is highly praised as a charming and successful release. It retains elements of The Bats' sound but is distinguished by a more positive and "sunny" mood, characteristic of Woodward's songwriting style. The album is filled with bright melodies, memorable choruses, and Woodward's strong yet light vocals, which are particularly emotional on ballads. The sound engineering by Paul Kean (also of The Bats) gives the album an intimate yet energetic sound. "Bounce Around" is recognized as a classic of New Zealand pop-rock, and the only remaining question is why Woodward did not start a solo career sooner.
