Album Review: Raised By Eagles - I Must Be Somewhere

"Progress is immediately apparent in powerful streamlined opener 'Shape & Line'."

The third longplayer by Melbourne Americana exponents Raised By Eagles builds strongly on the template they've been consolidating for years now, marked by a notable step up in both songwriting and production.

This progress is immediately apparent in powerful streamlined opener Shape & Line, with the album diversifying to show more strengths such as the title track's existential balladry, the '80s classic rock vibe of Night Wheels and the beautifully restrained Everyday Everyday, which sounds like a lost classic from Ryan Adams' songbook. They may be somewhere now, but they're definitely going places.
