Might I take a mo' to recommend this new album.

A couple of pup tracks but the good ones make up for them. Lots of 80s overtones - Duran, ELO, etc. Also, the album art is all very Rodney Matthews, harking back to Magnum/Yes/Asia.

A couple of good driving tracks too.

Hideous, insipid tosh. Musical beige.

For a moment, I thought it was an 80s version of Spinal Tap. Then it turned out to be serious. Australian, but serious.

Ugh.
