Darren Cross ProfileYou may recognise the name from the still-missed Gerling, but the music under his own banner is a different affair.
No Damage is full of rich-but-sparse what you might call ‘Americana’ – if it didn’t come from Sydney’s inner-west, although the names checked would likely be various Van Zandts and John Prine. It’s downbeat, but conversationally honest, even as it perhaps contradicts the claim of the title. Opener And The New York Rain Came Down shows him as a songwriter of honesty and skill, his woody guitar all the counterpoint needed. It is crafted and is simply good work.
