ALBUM REVIEW: Ryley Walker – Deafman Glance

Ryley Walker is a restless musical soul, constantly shapeshifting and looking for new ways to present his avant jazz/folk guitar songs. Over his first three solo albums he travelled from Tim Buckley/Van Morrison/Nick Drake traditional folk to the songs that, three years ago, explored more eclectic and contemporary territory on Golden Sings That Have Been Sung.  On Deafman Glance he continues that work, taking further … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Ryley Walker – Deafman Glance

ALBUM REVIEW: Tropical Fuck Storm – A Laughing Death In Meat Space

Gareth Liddiard has been the most important Australian songwriter of the last 15 years, certainly within the world of chart-swerving guitar music. His strengths lie in literary lyrical astuteness, willingness to explore the sprawl and corners of his songs and the raw, unhinged and visceral quality of his performances. The Drones always seemed like the cross between Neil Young, Dirty Three and Nick Cave & … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Tropical Fuck Storm – A Laughing Death In Meat Space

ALBUM REVIEW: Damien Jurado – The Horizon Just Laughed

The Horizon Just Laughed comes on the back of the loosely thematic trilogy of albums he recorded with producer and musician Andrew Swift. They were psychedelic in nature though still rooted in the folk form. In contrast, this feels like a retreat from the density and experimentation, to a place of reflection and solitude. Jurado is often lumped in with songwriters like Phosphorescent, Sam Beam … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Damien Jurado – The Horizon Just Laughed

Guitarist Isaiah Mitchell steps up the mic on Black Heaven and it’s a move that shifts the dynamic of the band. His … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Earthless – Black Heaven

ALBUM REVIEW: Eleanor Friedberger – Rebound

Eleanor Friedberger was the voice of the quirky and inventive Fiery Furnaces before going it alone. Now onto her fourth solo album, she’s more than established herself as a fine songwriter and clearly decided to stretch out into some new sonic territory on the more electronically textured Rebound. Eschewing the knotty indie guitar sound, she’s delved into a more synthetic world of drum machines, keyboards … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Eleanor Friedberger – Rebound

ALBUM REVIEW: Jack Ladder & The Dreamlanders – Blue Poles

The sense of Jack Ladder’s career to date is that he’s constantly been searching for his lost soul sound. The early bluesy rock n roll to the introspective troubadour, the gothic synth sounds of Hurtsville to the brighter colours of Playmates. Blue Poles is named after the Jackson Pollock painting and yes it does draw on all manner of styles but this time around he … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Jack Ladder & The Dreamlanders – Blue Poles
