And Here Is 'Music for the Fireside'

And Here Is 'Music for the Fireside is a 1985 EP by New Zealand indie rock group The Bats.

Flying Nun released the first three Bats EPs as Compiletely Bats.

Critical reception

AllMusic called the EP "another classic, flawless piece of the stunning mid-'80s Flying Nun pop puzzle." Trouser Press wrote that it spans "from lackadaisical laments to sweeping, enticing rushes of pure pop satisfaction, each made all the more appealing by Scott’s nasal, high register vocals."
