I’d love to have a listen, but unfortunately, I’ve already used up my quota of albums that could broaden my music knowledge for the month.

Dammit.

Musical months go from the 15th to the 14th. Didn’t they teach you that at bogan rock school?

Wow, I’d completely forgotten about them. Pitchfork darlings at the time iirc. Loved their first single.

Hahaha going very well @Klawdy . Good of you to ask mate!

Balance is I love 80’s and far less melancholy during that era. I do like progressive Death metal.

My 5 favourite musical talents are diverse:

  1. Eddie Van Halen (untouchable by 2 thru 5 below)
  2. Neil Finn (genius. I love All his work)
  3. Michael Akerfeldt (absolute genius. Listen to Damnation album, then contrast with the BRUTAL Ghost of Perdition off Ghost Reveries)
  4. Tommy Emmanuel (try Luttrell)
  5. John Denver (try Annie’s song… or Windsong)

All round great album from start to finish. I followed them for a few more albums but they never quite reached the heights of their debut. I think line-up changes cost them a bit of chemistry and the lead singer became the sole creative drive.

I also got to see them live at the Harvest Music Festival in Werribee in 2011.

The lineup included them and;

Portishead,
TV on the Radio,
The National,
Mogwai,
Family Stone,
The Flaming Lips,
Mercury Rev

Best lineup at a festival I ever went to.
