And Here Is 'Music for the Fireside' is a 1985 EP by New Zealand indie rock group The Bats.[4][5]
Flying Nun released the first three Bats EPs as Compiletely Bats.[6]
AllMusic called the EP "another classic, flawless piece of the stunning mid-'80s Flying Nun pop puzzle."[1] 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."[6]
