I've never felt that Jen Cloher was in any way fashionable or cool, but from the very beginning - for me that was Dead Wood Falls some 17 years ago - what they've always been is consistently good, in a way that's all the more impressive for being always so seemingly unassuming. And in that sense, this latest one is a continuation - just high quality songwriting and musicianship, with catchy songs that are about more than their catchiness. It's impressive.
