The Sky Above and The Mud Below (Carrot Top Records). Review by Carl F Gauze.
TALL DWARFS THE SKY ABOVE AND THE MUD BELOW Carrot Top I'll say this of the Tall Dwarfs: if you like one of their songs, you'll love the album. However, if you don't like the first song, the rest of the disc is a drag that's 25 cuts long. The lyrics are complicated (each cleanly rendered into print ...

Chris Knox at Schuba's in Chicago, IL on October 1, 2000. Concert review by J Noise.
... height in the late 1980s, Chris was always in the thick of it, recording his own stuff and pairing up with Alec Bathgate to work on the long-running Tall Dwarfs projects and producing, engineering and acting as mid-wife to a whole slew of up-and coming NZ acts. Another thing you should know about Chris ...

March 1998 :: Music C-E :: Dump (Anton Wagner)

... competition. Knox reaches into your heart and shakes it like a wet rag. Pioneering a unique New Zealand home-taped sound (with Alec Bathgate in the Tall Dwarfs and in several solo projects), Knox has always assembled intense bits of his soul among tape loops, kitchen percussion and a whatever-instrument ...

Learning About Your Scale (Asthmatic Kitty). Review by Kurt Channing.
... . They can sound like Crosby Stills and Nash at one point, and a Flaming Lips backporch jam the next. Somehow, they can still fit in a bit of Kinks, Tall Dwarfs, The Beatles, and Ween between those two extremes. Add to that the fact that most of these songs evolve in a minute or less (25 tracks in 24 ...
