Split Enz — Mental Notes 1975 (New Zealand, Progressive Rock)


The New Zealand band Split Enz gained widespread recognition during the "New Wave" boom. However, at its core, their music is rooted in art rock—a fact perfectly illustrated by their striking debut album, *Mental Notes*. The group was formed in Auckland in 1972, relocated to Sydney in 1975, and moved on to London in 1976. Throughout their career, they underwent frequent changes in both lineup and musical style, ultimately releasing a total of 10 albums. The band reunited several times during the 1990s and 2000s, though these reunions were always short-lived. This debut album was recorded and released in Australia.
