The Sprouts - Eat Your Greens

 

It seems we never have to wait long before another musical treasure arrives from Melbourne. After some research, we discovered that the reason for our perception is that, in fact, we never have to wait long before another musical treasure arrives from Melbourne. Tonight, we celebrate the release of Eat Your Greens by Melbourne quartet The Sprouts. (the official release date is the 24th, but as we write this on the evening of the 23rd, we note that it is already the 24th in Australia).

The members of The Sprouts, well, sprout from other fine Australian bands, including Chook Race, Dippers (fka Thigh Master), Permits and Ill Globo. The songs they have crafted for this record are organic, soothing, and appealingly shaggy. There is plenty of strum and jangle, the arrangements interesting and the harmonies lovely. We honestly don't know whether Eat Your Greens is a 'one off' project or is intended to continue. We hope it is the latter, but in any case The Sprouts have snuck in under the radar with a fine, and completely addictive, set of songs.

The Sprouts are Rob Remedios, Innez Tulloch, Tom Marinelli and Matthew Ford. Eat Your Greens is out now March 24 via Tenth Court.
