    The Lucksmiths 'First Frost'

    £10.99

    On First Frost, The Lucksmiths' trademark lyrical hooks shine warmer than ever '? and for the first time, all four members have racked up songwriting credits. Louis Richter's opener The Town and the Hills sets out the album's central theme of city v. country, while chief songwriter Marty Donald takes a sharpened pencil to the wilderness proper in Pines, concluding I don't mean to suggest I'm getting older, but the city looks its best over my shoulder.

    Which is not to suggest that First Frost is The Lucksmiths' lost emo-country masterpiece. Song of the Undersea (with its nods to Jonathan Richman and to John Steinbeck) has a carefree swagger and a wicked way with a melody.

    Similarly, A Sobering Thought (Just When One Was Needed) has hooks in abundance and concerns a late-night drunken escapade at a public swimming pool. Hey, why not?!

    7TH studio album from the band described as Australia's answer to Belle and Sebastian, and the follow-up to the excellent 'Naturaliste' album from 2003.

    As always, there are lots of guitars, some soothing basslines, and a singing drummer who's far better than Phil Collins, but this time there's also a horn section having a party, some fiery organs, a string section who dig Phil Spector, and a lazy pedal steel.

    As well as their popularity among the indiepop community the lucksmiths are also the discerning Australian expat's band of choice and they have had many reviews and features in TNT magazine.

    For Fans Of: Belle and Sebastian, The Smiths, Jonathan Richman.

    1. A Hiccup In Your Happiness
    2. The Music Next Door
    3. Great Lengths
