Editorial Reviews

Vinyl LP pressing. 2008 album from this duo led by Australian legends Kim Salmon (Scientists, Beasts Of Bourbon, etc) and Ron Peno (Died Pretty). Armed only with Salmon's custom Cole Clark acoustic guitar and Peno's singular voice and vision, The Darling Downs have crafted a record of nuanced beauty, a subtle masterpiece that unfolds like a dahlia with each successive spin, giving the listener something new and unexpected at every helping. All from two guys and one pristine guitar. At times Peno channels the spirit of Appalachian Folk's high lonesome sound, complete with yips, yelps and howls, while elsewhere his vocals are hypnotically understated, almost delicate--threatening to disappear into thin air before crashing down like thunder. Supporting Peno's acrobatic vocal brilliance is Salmon's equally understated, elegant guitar playing, perhaps the most restrained of his career, made all the more stunning when you know the fireworks and growl of which he is capable and for which he is famous.

With just a drop of rain, beauty and simplicity emerge from the dust. No I'm not talking about the 'boys' but the music. This is an album that lives in your bones. Don't be shy.
