Everything Is Breaking
I'm not a melodramatic person. Really. But something about Silver City Highway's debut album Everything Is Breaking makes me wanna don a poncho and a cowboy hat, head out into the American desert with a machine gun, some peyote, a coyote, and a vest of bullets. Is that weird?
It must be the Melbourne seven piece's reverb drenched epic rock songs - part Nick Cave, part Ennio Morricone, akin to L.A. space rockers Spindrift. While the drama can get a little O.T.T at times, it's a stellar album that soars and dips, like a long night of tequila and acid.
With sweeping production, shining pedal steel, Rhodes organ, harmonica, and a ton of soul, it's the soundtrack to the melodrama of your life.

About
FourThousand is a subcultural guide to Brisbane, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Brisbane writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence FourThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
