The Sleepy Jackson

[Smokin_Joe]

Anyone into this group from WA?

They are releasing their 2nd Album "PERSONALITY - ONE WAS A SPIDER, ONE WAS A BIRD" on the 1st of July.

I've only heard the single "God lead your soul" but i love it and cant wait to get my hands on the album

 

[Skippy_14]

Yeah love em. There's some good Australian music coming out next month.. Sleepy Jackson, Howling Bells (formerly Waikiki), Eskimo Joe.. Exciting.

 

[Politik_Pie]

I LOVE the first album..lovers I think, the best Australian album for a few years IMO.

By all accounts, the new albums gonna be even better!

 

[Smokin_Joe]

First album is brilliant. Sunkids should have been on it though. Anyone else going to see 'em next Saturday night?

In Prahran? yeah I might head over there.

 

[mansize rooster]

picked up this album...

Its amazing!!!
best album from this year for me(so far) So much ideas are packed into 3/4 minute songs.Strings are gorgeous,add to that the wacky vocals used..layers+layers of them.

if you liked 'lovers' you wont be dissapointed.this is alot more focused,a one mood type of record.i can see why it took ages to make

4.5/5

I saw them on there first gig of this tour. It was held in Perth at this really dogy place called the Bakery. But luckily the concert was just awsome and throughly enjoyable. I picked up a copy of the album on Saturday and have given it many listens

 

[mansize rooster]

good to see there are a few fans.also good to see ya checking out those promo shows.when you all hear the record i wanna know what you think of it

Got my copy of Personality yesterday, and must admit it has not hit me like Lovers did, however I guess I was familiar with more tracks on that cd before the first listen.

God Knows and I Understand What You Want But I Just Don't Agree are absolute brilliance.

I think this is a very good album, I am expecting it to grow on me - Lovers is one of the all time great albums, this does seem to be a tight set.

Yeah, it's at Ormond Hall, 557 St Kilda Rd. Should be a good night.

On a completely unrelated note, is anyone else pumped that The Grates are supporting the Arctic Monkeys in August??

Shouldnt The Arctic Monkeys be supporting The Grates?

Love The Grates. Her voice exudes sex
