Lachlan & Snowy - Phone In

Lachlan Denton and Liam Halliwell, aka "Snowy", have featured on these pages numerous times, in bands The Ocean Party and Pop Filter, in other bands, solo, and in various combinations with other artists. So it isn't an exaggeration to say that their music comprises an outsize portion the the soundtrack of my life in recent years. And since I am offered a very large amount of music, my choice of records to which these men contribute speak to how highly I rate them.

In May, the dynamic duo released an album titled Phone In. I am advised that the project began in an unserious vein a couple of years ago and the early efforts were forgotten. Recently the old tracks were remembered and finished. Despite that inauspicious beginning, but not surprising given the talent of Lachlan & Snowy, their fooling around resulted in some very good songs. The music breezy and, not coincidently, has a spontaneous feel. A remarkable feature of any of their projects is that every song reflects the author's humanity and love of making music, and Phone In is not an exception.

In a stroke of luck, the songwriters were able to convince Liam "Snowy" Halliwell to mix and master the album and Lachlan Denton to provide the cover art. It is a small world after all! Phone In is out now as a digital release via Osborne Again Music.
