"'I Am Lion' will likely give comfort to others struggling to lick their wounds."

Canary's Matthew Kenneally sounds like a broken man on their second long-player.

The Geelong native staggers from busking solemnly on a street corner in Burning Man to his bed where he'll ruminate on his "cigarettes and dwindling flame" in Hide & Seek. When Chameleon's aggressive rhythms are followed by a tempestuous Smile, it's impossible not to be put into a Radiohead space. "This is not a cry for help," Kenneally assures timidly in Disappointed. Perhaps not. But I Am Lion will likely give comfort to others struggling to lick their wounds.
