Jeremy I heard the song "Come Back" on KCRW while I was driving home and I thought I was hearing a new song from Siouxsie Sioux. I ended up using Shazam to find out that I was wrong. This band is great!! Favorite track: Curse.

Justin Ashworth Why do I love this album?
The guitar sound is enormous. HOLY SHIT. They sound massive.
The drum patterns are interesting. So much character. Favorite track: Birthday.

The 12 tracks which make up Big Skies explore themes of women’s experiences over generations and the simultaneous isolation and confinement felt by many women living in regional communities. From ‘Eternally’, to the almost operatic, key-driven ‘Curse’ – a track which could serve partly as an interlude, whilst creating the perfect precursor from where to launch into ‘Drive’ – and stunning album closer ‘Wanderer’, the tracks express feelings of being penned in, chained to family responsibilities and being unable to break away from tradition. The songs are haunting, restless and impeccably composed. A claustrophobic journey through wide open spaces.

"one of the most creative acts coming out of Sydney right now" – Eat This Music

“a frantic palette of panic… Wilson’s commanding vocals rise above as the centrepiece, covering a spectrum from shrill to operatic” – Rolling Stone

"Played with precision into ancient caverns, its sounds return exhilarating and weighty." – The Autumn Roses

Listen to this and start a band. Couldn't pick a favorite. Sandcastles came up in my feed and I loved the sentiment. Then Tell Them Where to Go gave me the fire to start a band. Pillow is the perfect closer. This album stirs things in me. Makes me give a damn. Reminds me that everything matters. Listen to it, start a band, take heart. foothands
