Kilgour

**Kilgour** (full name David Kilgour) is a beloved New Zealand singer-songwriter and guitarist best known as a founding member of the iconic indie rock band The Clean, pioneers of the Dunedin sound. Emerging from the vibrant Flying Nun Records scene in the 1980s, Kilgour’s laid-back, jangly guitar work and poetic lyricism have made him a cult figure in indie circles. His solo career, spanning decades, blends breezy melodies with introspective storytelling, earning him a reputation as a quietly influential figure in alternative music.

Recent tracks like *How To Put Your Hat On*, *Don’t You Hate The Way*, and *Feel The Weight* showcase his knack for crafting effortlessly cool, lo-fi gems that feel both timeless and fresh. Whether through hushed acoustic reflections or rollicking guitar-driven tunes, Kilgour’s music—as heard in *How Was I To Know* and *So Far*—maintains a warm, approachable charm that resonates with longtime fans and newcomers alike. A true indie troubadour, he continues to shape New Zealand’s musical legacy while staying refreshingly low-key.
