Album Review: Jack Colwell - Only When Flooded Could I Let Go

Sydney's Jack Colwell has managed to successfully marry an old-school feel with modern lyricism, and taps well into this winning combination in his newest EP.

Coat serves as an attention-grabbing opener, with Colwell's uniquely husky voice laying the groundwork for a brilliant crescendo of strings. Brimming with '60s nostalgia, stand-out track Don't Cry Those Tears will fool your ears into thinking that you've gone back in time to a sold-out doo-wop show — that is, until the rap break kicks in. A solid EP for fans of way back when.
