Australia’s Tall Poppies, are an altogether different type of band, in that their original music & arrangements, sparkle in the sunlight ; One might also mention the metaphor of a downpour of rain, yet a nice wet feeling all the same. Please do not catch cold…

“Butterfingers” is a bitter-sweet dose of melancholy, augmented with a double Vox harmony that fits like a hand in the glove. Perhaps, we can mention a touch somewhere along the line of The Everly Brothers, yet more convoluted at first listen

On the other side of the tape as it were, the cut “Time Machine” brings us to a dollop of Chad & Jeremy ; A purposeful moderate arrangement, only enhances the sound experience

In “Funky” we perceive the subtle arithmetic of the twin chanteuse, at work in the night time atmosphere of radiance,amidst a reality of subterfuge set to the sunset of evasive charm

In the song “Don’t Leave”, there is a strong & beautiful ghost-like ambiance ; Streaking through major-minor structure, married to a mid-tempo beat

Tall Poppies augment sounds from Accordion synthesis, to flourishes of Oboe & String nuance & Acoustic Guitars

Tall Poppies have an ever-winding staircase of ability to compose. One may catch glimpses of Dion Warwick, coupled with a dash of Kate Bush on a moody evening

Ultimately, Tall Poppies fit into a niche all their own. Be it European stylism & panache, or Aussie fun & games, yet set still to a serious note ; Surely enigmatic & enthralling. Tap the touch & release your mind, for the rest will follow to Tall Poppies
