Emma Russack & Lachlan Denton - Something is Going to Change Tomorrow, Today. What Will You Do? What Will You Say?

 

When singer songwriters Emma Russack and Lachlan Denton join forces the result is much greater than the simple calculation 1 + 1 = 2, as they have proved that over the course of three previous albums. But the new Something is Going to Change Tomorrow, Today. What Will You Do? What Will You Say? (henceforth known as "SIGTCTTWWYDWWYS") is their best yet. Emma and Lachlan's comfort with each other as performers is obvious and they are generous in supporting each other's material. But perhaps most noteworthy is their songwriting. SIGTCTTWWYDWWYS is an album full of bouncy, bright and accessible tunes that run a mile deep with humanity, sympathy, and an accepting realism. If one had to assign a genre, I suppose it would be folk pop. But such descriptions don't do justice to music that is expansive and serious in  intent, cleverly in arrangement, but so intimate in delivery. And unlike some folky albums the support from Snowy and Dylan helps create a tight and fulsome musical tapestry.

SIGTCTTWWYDWWYS is an album that arrives in unassuming fashion but leaves a deep and satisfying mark. You owe it to yourself to dive in. It is out now via Osborne Again, Spunk Records, Bobo Integral
