The melodies burn and crackle like Holopaw or The Shins (listen to the chorus on The Hollow Earth Is Calling), the organic ambience like The Album Leaf or On Land-era Brian Eno. In the slow, heavy acoustic guitar, there are hints of Gary Jules. In the quiet evocation of Sydney's inner west - the album must surely mark the first reference to MacDonaldtown station in the history of music - you can hear the two Tims - Rogers and Freedman - at their lyrical best... All the elements are there for a late spring afternoon spent in bed, wearing chunky headphones, experiencing an album. Down With The Sun, like those old records, offers up another world. And it's a beautiful one. Anton S. Trees (read the entire review here)

Some CDs are like those art exhibitions where the artist milks one idea across 14 paintings. This is the opposite. Lost in the Woods is the
brainchild of Sydney singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Brian
Yatman, who flits between styles - including country, indie pop and
bossa nova - seemingly incoherently. But the variety is the result of
observation of the diversity of life, and the observer's musical personality
can glue it all together John Shand
