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!
