Album Review: Huntly - Songs In Your Name

Tim Kroenert
StarStarStar

"Songs quiver on the brink of oblivion, or orgasmic release, which in Huntly's hands might be the same thing."

More Huntly Huntly

Melbourne's Huntly have a way of tempting you in with mellow grooves and then getting dark.

True to form, Please kicks off this EP with a sparse beat and slow-burning intensity. Kate's Bed is a comparatively sweet digression, while standout Templehof is a sex-charged electro-jazz ode to dangerous love: "I'm living too hard with the girl that I adore," croons Elspeth Scrine. The songs quiver on the brink of oblivion, or orgasmic release, which in Huntly's hands might be the same thing. With three new tracks and two remixes, it's less substantial than 2016's Feel Better Or Stop Trying, but just as affecting.
