Empty Houses - Daydream - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Rather than fixate on the minute details like they may have done in the past, the group, rounded out by drummer Robi Gonzalez, trust their instincts and try to keep things as pure as possible. Music is much more exhilarating when it's unpredictable even on repeat plays, and this is very much an unpredictable record. Gonzalez makes his recording debut with the band here, and it obvious that he helped pushed the band recordings closer to the level of their infamous live shows.

A record designed to be consumed front to back on a solo nighttime drive, Daydreamer challenges listeners to take a chance on themselves in the name of personal-discovery. And, baring their souls across the span of twelve vulnerable and hook-driven tracks, the album sees the group follow their own advice, leaving their former selves silhouetted by the glow of the sinking sun and emerging reborn in the neon twilight. For although Dead Lakes never promise everything will be easy, they do provide the soundtrack for all of life's twists and turns.

The Buckleys, a three-piece band featuring siblings Sarah, Lachlan, and Molly, embody a brand of Inchhippie countryInch representing the infectious personality and spirited conscience that the band maintains. The debut album features the singles InchMoney,Inch InchLeave Me Hanging On,Inch and the title track InchDaydreamInch which scored a #1 single at Australian country radio, followed by InchI'm Comin' For Ya (Love),Inch which hit #3. Nominated for New Talent Of The Year Award at the 2020 Country Music Awards Australian.
