Julian Temple Band - Quiet Earth (ODT)

4 stars (out of 5)
With an inquisitive eye and fantastic storytelling, the San Fran-Kiwi seizes vignettes of life and wrings the hell out of them.
Backed by the slick rhythm section of Matt Brook and Paul McLennan-Kissel, band leader Julian Temple's right hand is the key, tenderly caressing his beloved acoustic one moment, dishing out a hiding the next - the perfect accompaniment to his often pained vocal interplay.
Temple's muse owes a lot to the cosiness of the Purakaunui cottage where this was captured. Quiet Earth's mash-up of styles is awash with layers of refined overdubs - the perfect sonic accompaniment to spring.
