Australian import. What on earth is it with Austrlian musicians? They kick out the best, most consistently interesting pop music and have for years. Grand Atlantic is going to be a major find for many of you. It is for me. The Australian influences are there…..Even and You Am I, in particular. Definitely Sloan and, for those who know the Swiss pop band, Miles, a bit here. There's a wonderful thing that happens when a band steps out from the shadows of their influences and confidently asserts their own sound, their own thoughts and their own reason for being - people listen and take note. We have a tendency to just say the obvious when there’s a band we are over the top on….”Stop reading, just listen below.” This is one of those times. It all pours out of your speakers when you put the album on - a brave, affecting, uplifting set of songs that showcase the yearning vulnerability in Phil Usher's voice, the pop perfection of their songwriting and the precise ability of the band to understand and capture the essence of each tune. With a perfectionist production quality that bears witness to endless hours in the studio and a commitment to getting it just right, this is a band that revives memories of pop's glorious past and provides clear signposts to a brighter future. “This is a band which has assimilated all there is worth knowing in the world of orchestral pop and bends that knowledge to their own will... 4 stars.” – Courier Mail. Let Grand Atlantic into your world - you'll be glad you did... EXTREMELY Highly Recommended!
