Every now and then a band emerges from seemingly nowhere to release a debut album that captures your attention and causes the hairs on your arms to stand up instantaneously. Little John are such a band. Combining the angelic harmonies reminiscent of the American Folk tradition with a gritty rock'n'roll delivery, evoking images of sparse American landscapes by way of a twisted Australian rhetoric. Nine tracks that swing wildly from erratic guitar noise, shrieking vocals and driving swamp beats to chain gang antiphony and haunting traditional melodies.
