Possibly the most controversial selection on my list – not
so much because it’s a bad or controversial album, but more because it was
simply a side project for a number of musicians (namely Kav from Eskimo Joe,
Bob Evans/Kevin Mitchell, Josh Pyke and Steve Parkin) who really recorded it
for a bit of fun. I suspect a lot of you are probably thinking “what the?” at
this point. Its not going to win any awards for being innovative, but this
Aussie “supergroup” if you like has carved out a lovely album laden with
harmonies and nice enjoyable music. Its possibly the album I have listened to
most over the past few years. There are highlights everywhere, as the album
cruises along, from the whimsical jangly pop of “Bus Stop” (featuring a cameo appearance
by Julia Stone), to the catchy pop/rock of “Not the One” (today’s link) and a
number of country folk esque numbers in between. “Waiting for You” and “Cinnamon and Smoke’
also rank up there as some my favourites on the album. Well worth a listen if
you are unfamiliar with this album.
