ALBUM REVIEWS
SYDNEY MORNING HERALD - 4 STARS
"This is a second album carefully balanced between the sheer pleasure of
pop music and the wit of smart song writing. Chandeliers songs have a casual
elegance and a droll eye but they are subordinate to what feels like real emotion,
meaty playing and tunes that constantly entertain. The Boat People are the real
deal". (Bernard Zuel)
MESS AND NOISE
"A genuinely great Australian pop album that can comfortably stand alongside
acknowledged classics like Woodface, Granddance or 16 Lover's Lane&8230;.superb
mature pop music, as good as anything you will hear in this genre this year.
International recognition beckons".
WHO WEEKLY - 4 STARS
COURIER MAIL - 4 STARS
TIME OFF - 4.5 STARS (ALBUM OF THE WEEK)
"Eleven blindly brilliant pop songs&8230; flawless, jangly, guitar pop
for the thinking man&8230; the album is a triumph."
RAVE - 4.5 STARS (ALBUM OF THE WEEK)
"Is this a great album from The Boaties? Yesyesyesyesyes!"
THE BRAG - INDIE ALBUM OF THE WEEK
PBS - FEATURE ALBUM
BEAT - AWKWARD ORCHID ORCHARD SINGLE REVIEW
A new single from Brisbane's bliss pop maestros, Awkward Orchid Orchard continues
a fine tradition of faultless hooks from this gentle crew, who have surprising
depth in their sweetness and light.

We used to have a lot of stuff in this rectangle but, well, scrolling
down is such a hardship these days. especially if you don't have one of those

I am quite vibrant aren't I? In that particular photo I am what I like to call going 'internally beserk'. You just can't tell from my bored as fuck, deadpan demeanor.
Angie releases her second solo album 'Eat My Shadow' in Australia tomorrow!
We have a very special deal for you all, JB Hi-Fi are offering a SIGNED, TWO DISC edition of Angie's album.
The
first disc contains the full 12 track album, the second disc contains a
5 track EP of Angie covering some of her favourite songs, including
tracks by The Smiths, Australian Crawl, Laura Veirs and others.
On top of that we're offering a beautiful Angie Hart tea-towel (dishcloth to you Americans!) as part of the deal. Be quick!
ahhh damn...I always loved how you listed 'CHOCKY' as a seminal influence on your page. I always had a chuckle. Was that born from you, Robin? I could see how it would fit with your humour! Tour well! The cousin from Bris.
Hey James! Thanks for the add and for stopping by, stoked you like the Soft Sell! BTW - Echo Stick Guitars - very nice new song yourself! Looking forward to hearing your new album in full. Hope you guys are well. Cheers Ross
Hey there Boaties - am digging the Echo Stick Guitars sound. Sounds as though you're getting your rocks off recording. All the best with the rest of it.
