Practical Footwear (CDEP)
Mellow, atmospheric pop from KARL SMITH & Co, their
experimental/ambient leanings tempered with forthright charcoal-filtered pop
songs and some shiver-inducing acoustic guitars, gives it a faintly
psychedelic folk feeling, as does the glimmering cello and nifty
hand-percussion, very nice! They're Aussies and they do come across like a
sleepy, shy LUCKSMITHS, like the most laid-back GO-BETWEENS, hints of BELLE
& SEBASTIAN, GREEN PAJAMAS and JOHN CUNNINGHAM.
