As you may have guessed from my listening habits over the last couple of days, the latest Go-Betweens album Oceans Apart has been very much on my mind. Part of this is in anticipation of their show tonight at Slim's, a chance for me to see a band i've been interested in for two or three years now. Cued by an article on Allmusic, i checked out their reunion album The Friends of Rachel Worth in 2002 and was wowed. Digging back further i found they had an extensive catalog of wonderful albums, including gems like 1986's Liberty Belle & the Black Diamond Express and 1987's Tallulah. Recently they'd slipped into my slightly forgotten category, but V was astute enough to notice they were coming to the bay area and bought us tickets. I'd had Oceans Apart for a while, but only yesterday did i revisit it as part of my pre-show preparation. Wow. This may be their most complete record yet. The epic build of "Darlinghurst Nights", the rolling riff of "Boundary Rider" ... it's there punch for punch with Liberty Belle. The show tonight should be fantastic. 'cause to chase her, a fool's dream By the way, i didn't make it to the Orange Peels record release party last night. But being a bay area local again i'm sure i'll have many more chances to see them play their wonderful new album Circling the Sun live. | |
