"Happy as ever to cast their rod into exotic waterways, for First Frost The Lucksmiths decamped to Tasmania during the wintertime and found themselves in a rustic shack, working with producer Chris Townend who has crafted the band’s most dynamic album to date. Germinating from The Lucksmiths’ well-honed strummy lyrical folk pop, First Frost drifts casually into fresh terrain for the band, touching at times on glam, fuzzpop, krautrock, shoegaze, country, and even a little classic rock..! With assorted strings, horns and organs peppering the guitar-happy mix, and Tali White’s duet with The Harpoons’ Bec Rigby on the twangy "Lament of the Chiming Wedgebill", First Frost is one of the band’s finest and most diverse albums yet. And with all four members delivering the songwriting goods, The Lucksmiths’ disarming lyrical hooks shine warmer than ever."

In which I punch The Lucksmiths in the face...
Not really of course. Tali and the boys are sweet and lovely and brilliant but if one more band I love comes up to Sydney and doesn't play any all ages gigs I'll... I'll... Make some more empty threats! And on my birthday weekend too! (15th and 16th Nobember at the Hopetoun Hotel if you're overage and interested.) On the plus side, their new album is finally up for sale here. I'm not in any hurry to get it personally, seeing as I don't have a live show coming up to get-to-know-it for... Bastards. But looks promising! And I will eventually! Sigh, today is so not a good day for Bodhi...
