Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following his work with Eric Matthews in the influential duo Cardinal, the Australian songwriter continued to refine his deeply orchestrated sound on his second solo release. 'Telegraph' operates as a masterpiece of meticulously arranged chamber pop, heavily indebted to the baroque psychedelia and ambitious string arrangements of the late 1960s.
