80s Australian jangle. Like any good jangle, it's accessible and feel-good. But it's on the long term that this album shows his true nature. Its simplicity is hiding great pop songwriting, the kind that make you sing-along its tunes without you ever realizing it. It's not a show-off record, it's power residing in its discretion. The problem is, you gotta spend a lot of time with it. A couple listens guarantee nice moments, but the record maybe takes too much time to reveal its secrets.
