The Go-Betweens
Here’s a gorgeous track from The Go-Betweens - 16 Lovers Lane:
Streets of Your Town (sendspace)
The sixth Go-Betweens record (and their last before a 12-year hiatus), 16 LOVERS LANE, is not only one of the band’s finest albums, it’s a remarkable collection of love songs. Focusing on the bittersweet side of romance, vocalist/guitarists Grant McLennan and Robert Forster write with a clear-eyed,unflinching intensity that draws listeners into their narratives of loss and redemption. Moving back to their native Australia, the group abandoned a short-lived experiment with programming and synthesizers begun on their previous album, and returned to a more organic sound that, accompanied by crisp production, gives this outing a bracing, undated immediacy.
