Bailterspace are a New Zealand band who emerged from another band, “The Gordons”. They are known for their dynamic, hypnotic, wall of sound approach to guitar based music and exceedingly loud live performances. As part of the Flying Nun roster, they were seen as something that stood apart from the “Dunedin Sound” typically associated with that record label.

This is the music video for “Retro” from the album “Wammo” by Bailterspace. The band perform “Retro” in arid rural location. They are observed from an alien spaceship - which lands and an astronaut emerges. (The animated astronaut is as pictured on records covers of their earlier band, The Gordons.)
