Comments and Reviews


Lee Wrecker 17th Sep 2017		The band Smudge have a lot of connections to The Lemonheads and Evan Dando. I don't no anything about them other than that.



Gian_paolo 17th Sep 2017		A beautiful "pop" album by any means, one of the best of that decade



the whistler 17th Sep 2017		LW_thanks for all that. The band described their early stuff as 'industrial folk'-it isn't easy on the ears and not surprised that people gave up. Can you throw any light on this



Lee Wrecker 16th Sep 2017		The Hostages and the beginnings of "The Striped Sunlight Sound" perhaps?



Lee Wrecker 16th Sep 2017		@ the whistler, this band played a lot round my neck of the woods in their formative years. So much so that I can't even listen to them to this day. The were a staple on the Brisbane underground for many years until they somehow got picked up by the Scottish Postcard label and finally moved on to global underground success. Early on they were generally hopeless live and often appeared at the bottom of the bill at post- punk (1978-79) DIY organised gigs in local community halls or radio station (4ZZZ) benefits. They did improve over time but it was a slow process which involved many line-up changes but they always had Forster and McLennan at the core. I had all of their early singles at one point but let them go over time - a big mistake looking at current prices - nevertheless I don't collect records to sell, I collect them to listen to them. Anyway, the band can be considered one of the originators of what became known as the "striped sunlight sound" that emanated from Brisbane in the late 70's to early 80's along with the likes of the Riptides and even earlier The Hostages (see youtube link above). So by the time they hit their straps 10 years later on this album it was too late for many in their home town that had endured the long gestation. This reminds of a solo Chris Bailey gig in about 1983 when he returned to Brisbane to play to an almost empty room while at the same time enjoying enormous success in Europe.

the whistler 16th Sep 2017		Review This is one of those rare albums-no track that you have to skip-in fact every song is a grower. Acoustic indie/pop with a dream like feel. Lyrics are mini-stories and snapshots rooted in the reality of relationships and heartbreak. This is literate music for those who like a good tune and a wry outlook. I find their earlier stuff quite hard to listen to, the band are unusual in that they got better and better and ended with this (then re-convened in the 90s). The more ballady stuff (Quiet Heart say) is sweet but not sugary, the tunes with a bit more muscle (Was there anything for example) are propelled along by a pulsing rhythm with traditional drums, guitars and bass. There are lovely little touches like snatches of oboe and violin. The whole thing is a delightful, thoughtful concoction that is not to be missed. 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
