Album Review: Damian Cowell’s Disco Machine - Damian Cowell’s Disco Machine

Steve Bell

"A fun and rewarding listen from go to woah"

Most discussion about this album will revolve around its eclectic raft of guests – Tim Rogers, Shaun Micallef, John Safran et al – and understandably so given how much they collectively bring to the table, but the true strength lies in this being Damian Cowell’s best batch of songs since the halcyon days of TISM. Sharp, catchy and both thematically and lyrically ingenious, this is a fun and rewarding listen from go to woah (spoiler alert: may offend hipsters and folk aficionados).
