This review is from: Elsewhere for 8 Minutes (Audio CD)

I've been a fan of Something for Kate for awhile now seeing them twice in concert and owning the later albums Echolalia and Official Fiction so when I saw this album on sale I thought I'd give this one a go as well. The first thing I noticed was how raw it seemed compared to their highly polished later works. Far from making this a worse album than those it just makes it equally good in a different way. It struck me how much Dempsey's voice resembles Bush frontman Gavin Rossdales in this album and even some of the music was Bushesque which I loved being a huge fan of that band. If your only into Something for Kate for their radio friendly pop songs then this album probably isn't for you but any true fan of the band should definately get this. Album highlights include Captain Million miles an hour), Paintbrushes and my favourite Soundczech.

This debut album from Australian 3 piece Something For Kate is something special.

The best known track from this album, Captain (Million Miles An Hour) is an outstanding introduction to this band, but far from the best track on the album. That honor for me goes to Working Against Me,

an absolute cracker, and the slow burning strains of Paintbrush.

In a nutshell SFK are pop/rock , but they are far from generic.

With another 4 album following this one SFK continue to grow without stepping too far out of their box, which for me is a great thing as it indicates a band with the best quality of all.....strong material.
