About this album

We Never Close is a sharp, melody-led pop-rock album that shows Dave McArtney & The Pink Flamingos balancing humour, hooks and guitar-driven energy with ease. Released in 1982, it reflects the New Zealand scene that grew around McArtney’s writing, pairing a punchy band feel with songs that are sly, tuneful and distinctly local in character. The album’s appeal lies in its mix of smart observational writing and straightforward rock momentum, heard in standout cuts such as Just Like In The Movies and the title track. It remains a notable example of early-1980s Australasian pop rock with personality to spare.
