Single Review: The Lucksmiths – Up With The Sun/A Sobering Thought (Just When One Was Needed) (Fortuna POP!)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 10 November 2008
Fifteen years of sun-soaked pop hasn’t quite seen The Lucksmiths reach the heights of super-stardom. Indeed, their most illustrious moment probably came when they were picked to be on the playlist of Qantas’ in-flight radio. This double A-side of sprightly tunes from the forthcoming ‘First Frost’ album deserves a bigger audience than merely jet-setting antipodeans though. ‘Up With The Sun’ may lament the working life, but it shimmers like Belle & Sebastian at their most playful, whereas ‘A Sobering Thought’ masters the subtleties of blending heavier guitar with welcome harmonies and Tali White’s soothing tones. Qantas have taste. TM
