Album Notes & Community Reviews
Expanding their sound with prominent violin and synthesizer arrangements, The Go-Betweens crafted a deeply lush and melodic jangle-pop masterwork. Robert Forster and Grant McLennan鈥檚 brilliant, literate songwriting offers bittersweet, highly romantic portraits of domestic drama and urban isolation. 'Tallulah' balances profound melancholia with a uniquely playful, acoustic-driven musicality.
