Russack, Emma -& Lachlan Denton-
Take The Reigns
The history of pop music is full of girl-boy duos. One of today's most essential is this one that broaden and deepen the two Melbourne-based artists' respective oeuvres while pinpointing the strengths of each artist: Lachlan Denton's bulletproof hooks; Emma Russack's laconic, acerbic lyrics; and their shared penchant for creating spare, sunburnt Australian rock. Emma Russack plus the frontman of indie outfit The Ocean Party, Lachlan Denton, continue the bands penchant for catchy, melody-driven indie-pop tracks that make your heart melt. "Emma Russacks masterfully plainspoken ballads put her in the same league as Bill Callahan and Lucinda Williams." ~Rolling Stone. This is Emma Russack and Lachlan Denton's third and best album. File it next to The Go-Betweens.
