My Review: So, recently I’ve been recommending albums that
kind of signify summer for me, and this is definitely one of those albums. I came across Passenger whilst listening to
Communion’s Flowerpot Sessions (which are incredible, you should
definitely find them on spotify or grooveshark.) There is kind of a Bob Dylan aspect in his
lyrics, in that I think they kind of define Australian music the way Dylan did
with the American Midwest. There is also
something about an album filled with duets.
Every song sounds a little bit different from the last and every artist
that Passenger collaborated with provides an excellent contrast to him. The songs have a little bit of a fairy tale
quality about them, and they kind of encompass something. Some sound like you would listen to them at
the beach, others sound like you would listen to them while camping in the
bush. I don’t know a lot about Australia,
but I think that if an album were going to capture the various sounds and
cultures that make up that amazing continent, than Passenger would come pretty
close to doing so.
