Why couldn't I find a thread on this? I downloaded it a couple of days ago on a whim and now I can't stop listening to it. Have you heard it?

Yep one of my favourite Australian bands, great to see it finally released overseas - came out 2002 here i think! Pretty special outfit (poetic on the surface, total lager louts in person), this is their 2nd album after Sunset Studies which was great too if a bit long. Actually i think both records could be 10 mins shorter, but you know, maybe that's overfamiliarity.

his lyrics bug me a bit but they are a very good band and their live shows are strong.

You think they're a bit flowery or smack of highschool poetry - is that it? But yeah agree with Cutty, I think he pulls them off in the main.

see them live, preferably outdoors at dusk.

one year passes...

They're a dirty bar band really, underneath the books and occasional jazz bitz. Loving them lately, late.
