Naturaliste

• Track Listing

Naturaliste confirms the reputation of this Melbourne band, offering eleven examples of instantly memorable indie pop music to win you all over again. All The Lucksmiths' hallmarks are here an ear for melody, an eye for detail and a way with words. And again all three members contribute songs. But stepping away from the increasing orchestration of their recent work, the guitar based Naturaliste demonstrates a sensibility of understatement and restraint that allows these songs to shine. This is at once The Lucksmiths most assured and cohesive work so far. Naturaliste will remind you 'why you fell in love with music in the first place". Naturaliste represents reassurance that pop music can be affecting rather than affected, and further evidence, were it needed, of why "if there is to be a way back to world domination for melodic intelligent pop' The Lucksmiths are likely to be in the vanguard."
