Reviews / Album

This lurch into tropical-inspired music may sound predictable, tiresome and even lame, but the band have managed to work the trend well.

Rætina is a pretty tame taste that barely scratches the surface of just how interesting and surprising his work can be.

There just should have been a bit more – and/or a bit less – of everything.

Can we just move past the so-called debate about the Big Four and say Testament are making ball-tearing LPs exceeding not their contemporaries, but also the younger breed? Good. Dark Roots Of Earth kills.

A solid record, but not a masterpiece.

Despite some of it being recorded in Paris and London, there’s definitely a familiarity on Lake Air that makes you feel at home, and further makes you wish they never stop making records.

The Adelaide band have stripped back to the basics and created an insightful and brutally honest album.
