[Speak 'n Spell: 2009]Upon release of Dappled cities third album Zounds I was quite excited and deservedly so; Their second album Granddance was released in 2006 and it quickly became one of the highlights from that year and would still have to be one of the best Australian albums in the last 5 years.
The band have always leant towards the experimental side of music making and with Zounds they take this up another gear, they use everything from guitars, drums and synths to strings and chanting.
Where this could have easily become too much noise to handle the strength of the song writing and the ever refreshing mix of Tim Derricourt’s and Dave Rennick’s vocals easily keep the album intact. For Zounds they’ve turned down the pop and turned up the prog but in doing so have kept their wonderful dramatic sound and produced a fantastic album for the senses.
Dappled Cities are on tour now.
