Album Review: Fountaineer - Greater City, Greater Love

StarStarStar

"'Greater City, Greater Love' is a fantastic album from start to finish."

More Fountaineer Fountaineer Profile

Bendigo is pretty significant to Kieran Daly and brothers Anthony and Francis White, who make up indie pop rock trio, Fountaineer.

Their latest album, Greater City, Greater Love is a bit of a tribute to their country hometown and its slow transition into a bigger city.

It's a distinctly Australian sounding album, from the footy metaphor in album opener Sirens to the mention of Heath Ledger in The Cricketers - a song inspired by a painting by Australian artist Russell Drysdale, that hung in the White's childhood home. Sonically it has that blue-collar Aussie rock sound too, modernised by synths and processed beats.

Greater City, Greater Love is a fantastic album from start to finish.
