The Jezabels "The Brink"
So I follow through on my promise to get this band's sophomore release. In the post on the debut a couple of years ago, I tell my domestic readers to "remember you heard them here first..." Nevermind...
This album finds the band settling into a pure 80's Aussie rock jacket. Renee Geyer, Wendy & The Rocketts, etc., basically names Americans won't know. I don't pull those discs out to play them now, I certainly don't need a new band doing the same musical style. This was the pre-release single from a few months back...
Pretty obvious why the video wasn't shown in America and it's a boring song anyway. On one track I thought the singer took on a Chrissie Hynde-like warble, not timbre, and about three of the tracks midway through could be a female fronted Killers, but not A-grade Killers. Allow me to demonstrate...
Not that I was on the bandwagon (not sure there is one) but I'm deleting this entire album. Bye bye...
