Flight of the Conchords' Bret McKenzie unveils new album 'Freak Out City'

Kiwi musician and comedian Bret McKenzie, best known for his work with Flight of the Conchords, is set to release his second album next week.

Freak Out City is a follow-up to his 2022 solo project Songs Without Jokes.

The lead off single is All I Need, and Bret McKenzie says it's inspired by his long-term relationship with his wife, Hannah.

"It's funny, when you've been in a relationship that long, there are some days where you love each other more than other days... and on one of those days where things were going great, I sat down at the piano and wrote this song."

Pike River: Actress Melanie Lynskey reveals why the story needed to be told

New Zealanders will get an insight into the Pike River tragedy that continues to be felt by relatives - and on the West Coast.

A film based on the 2010 explosion that took the lives of 29 men is being released in New Zealand this week.

Starring Kiwi actresses Melanie Lynskey and Robyn Malcolm, it tells the true story of Anna Osborne and Sonya Rockhouse's fight for justice.

Lynskey says it was important for the men to be remembered as individuals.

"Anyone who's had a loved one be a victim of something that becomes a national tragedy - I do think that the person that you loved, that was the most important person in your entire world, becomes kinda faceless."
