Editorial Reviews
8 song minialbum (27min) rec. in an old nunnery on the beach in Australia in 1999. Simple, delicate & windswept music that mirrors the recording environment that even captured the thrum of insects & wind & ocean noise in the background. Incl. 4 wonderful Aussie musicians plus strings by SUSAN VOELZ (Poi, Prewitt). Comes in deluxe, full color, high gloss 5" slipcase w/full color innersleeve

4.0 out of 5 stars
Stoically Among the 'Roo,
This review is from: Gerroa Songs (Audio CD)
Admittedly, I bought this CD partially for its packaging. It is an usual cardboard envelope with a full color cover of Mr. Prewitt standing next to half a dozen kangaroos. Putting myself in his shoes, I know that MY facial expression would be completely different from his. Man, the sight, the smell, the touch of a kangaroo--that's something to get excited about!The back of the packing explains the circumstances relating to the recording. It was done in low-key way in Australia. Interesting reading that got me interested in Mr. Prewitt. I already knew him as a member of the Sea & Cake. This packing made up my mind for me. Inside this delicately designed package is a truly mesmerizing CD. Minimalistic guitar work, fluid bass and soft vocals grace this piece like a lace doily on my grandmother's coffee table. It's dark and moody with simple production. Great music for a lazy weekend afternoon.

5.0 out of 5 stars
less is more,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gerroa Songs (Audio CD)
All i can say is that Archer is simply a beautiful musician.This recording was done spontaneously at a house in Australia. It captures the true essence of music. It is under-produced,raw and very real.I wish more artists would release albums such as this one.It contains light minimal guitar,beautiful strings,and some haunting vocals. I recommend all of Archers work:)

5.0 out of 5 stars
I always rate 5 stars, but this deserves it.,
By MMS "plasticspoons" (Spokane, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gerroa Songs (Audio CD)
It seems that people either give 5 stars, or completely rip something when reviewing something on Amazon. This is an EP, so for some reason all of the reviews give 3.5 or 4 stars. Yes it is short with 8 songs, but there is no fat. It is an atmospheric little gem of an album. There is no reason not to give this all the credit it deserves because it is an EP. It is not bright and produced like previous Archer Prewitt albums. I don't know what to say exactly. I saw that no one else reviewed this, and it really is very good. Like I said it is kind of a moody dark thing. I guess it was recorded in some old church on the coast of New Zealand(or maybe Australia.) Anyway, it's really good.
