Whose 2018 LP is titled "This Is Glue"?

Whose 2018 LP is titled “This Is Glue”? The answer is Salad Boys.

This Is Glue was released on January 19, 2018, by Trouble in Mind Records. It is the second full-length album by Salad Boys, a Christchurch, New Zealand indie-rock trio known for fuzzy guitars, melodic songwriting, and links to the country’s Flying Nun scene.

The band formed in 2012 around Joe Sampson, Ben Odering, and Jim Nothing (James Sullivan). Their debut LP, Metalmania, arrived internationally in 2015; This Is Glue followed it with 12 songs, including “Blown Up,” “Psych Slasher,” “In Heaven,” and “Divided.” Recording and mixing took place in various locations around Christchurch between mid-2016 and mid-2017.

A likely mix-up is treating Salad Boys as a song title or assuming the record belongs to a solo musician. Salad Boys is the artist name, while This Is Glue is the album title. The group’s Christchurch background and Flying Nun-adjacent jangle-pop sound place the record firmly in New Zealand’s indie-rock tradition.
