Weeville is an album by New Zealand band Tall Dwarfs, released in 1990.[7][8] It was the band's first album, after almost a decade of EP-only releases.[9]

The album was reissued, along with Fork Songs, in 2005 by Cloud Recordings.[10]

Production

The album was made possible by a grant from the New Zealand Arts Council.[11]

Critical reception

Trouser Press called the album "unpretentious but insidiously great."[12] Exclaim! wrote that "the songs that endure are acoustically strummed with simple arrangements."[13] The Chicago Tribune called it "a Sgt. Pepper of low-tech innovation."[14]
