Album Review: Georgia Fair - Trapped Flame

Georgia Fair are a couple of strikingly good-looking 20-something Melburnians who produced a sun-glazed debut LP of cohesive indie-folk in 2010. They seem to have lost themselves in Trapped Flame amid overly-produced tracks, meritless choruses and the seductive allure of commercial pop. Underlying the record is a sense the boys are trying to describe some profound existential 'discoveries' they've made, with washy pop-tunes and lyrical enigmas such as “I am love, I am free, I am me”. In the end it's stripped-back tracks Old Friend and Wrong Side that feel more like they have something to say.
