Album Notes & Community Reviews

Expanding from their origins as an instrumental surf-rock outfit, the Australian band enlisted the gruff, charismatic vocals of Tex Perkins for their second album. 'This Is Not the Way Home' crafts a swampy, atmospheric blend of roots rock and subtle reggae rhythms, capturing a laid-back, cinematic outback sound.
