WHAT TO EXPECT: Reyne writes about people and places he knows, and times and events we are familiar with – all with a healthy dose of sarcasm. The music is easy to listen to, even understated, allowing the lyrics to take centre stage, like in the title track. “I’m gonna kick some tyres / and light some fires / and punch a hole in the sky …. I'm gonna leave my room / and hand my gloom / onto some other guy.” WHAT WE LIKE: From the opening Toon Town Lullaby,
Reyne’s customary wit and clever wordplay are all here, along with acoustic guitar combined with simple harmonies. Low Hanging Fruit is laidback, but with a cynical view of the music industry –“ I don’t see bravery, I just see knavery”. This Time strums along like a BBQ sing-a-long favourite; The Tallest Man I Ever Knew is a tribute to his good friend and ex-band mate Brad Robinson, who died over 20 years ago – with uptempo guitar riffs and some lovely literary references. The album closes out with the tuneful Wrong Guy “But your shadows out-dance you wherever you run”.
STANDOUT TRACKS: Toon Town Lullaby, Low Hanging Fruit, Wrong Guy.
PERFECT FOR: Funky Friday nights, smooth Saturdays, lazy Sunday afternoons.
LISTEN IN IF YOU LIKE: Australian Crawl, Dave Gleeson, Ian Moss, Richard Clapton.
