Hengeveld unravels vignettes of other lives lived; calling through time to capture the mysteries of the everyday.This raw folk-narrative echoes the disarming intimacy of Richard Buckner, in concert with an edgy and cyclical acoustic guitar-style reminiscent of Bert Jansch. Sweet, melancholy and occasionally menacing melodies working deeper beneath your skin with each visit. Tobias Hengeveld's understated and idiosyncratic approach to music and the song-form has resulted in a work of striking originality. All the Lines are Down sirens Tobias Hengeveld's coming-of-age as a songwriter; amidst a ground-swell of new Australian artists, once again focused on localized experiences and identity. A haunting dream illuminated by the history, mystery, wonder and woe of this place and it's people.
