Music journalists started falling over themselves when this record first crept onto the Australian stage. Like a friend who easily turns into a lover, this emotive collection of porch-style recordings speaks volumes about Tex Perkins' superior songwriting and performing .... by, ironically, being intimate, soulful, quiet. Far from his swaggering Beasts persona, this is Perkins all grown up and not afraid to let his guard down. The results are stunning. Bonus disc, Long Night of the Dark Horses, includes six live tracks - five recorded at Sydney's Newtown RSL in Sept 2000 for Triple J's Live at the Wireless; the other recorded by RRR for Live at the Laundry, Oct 2000.Warning: This recording contains explicit language.
