Album Notes & Community Reviews
The Australian indie rock ensemble's debut full-length is a sweeping, intensely literary exploration of sophisticated folk-pop. 'Sunset Studies' showcases Glenn Richards' highly poetic, often opaque songwriting, supported by lush, complex chamber arrangements featuring strings, horns, and prominent piano. The album earned significant domestic acclaim, establishing the band as a major, high-minded force in the Australian music scene.
