Album Review: Kit Warhurst - Colour Wheel

Tagging him as a 'journeyman' undersells who Kit Warhurst is.

The hyperactive heartbeat of Rocket Science and a prolific television composer are a couple of credits, but this genuinely solo album — he plays and sings most everything on it — has been coming for some time. It's a grab-bag of his influences: opening highlight Nothing In Melbourne is The Strokes' New York more than the Yarra, while Oliver Never Knew Sunshine is Britpop nod, accent included. Warhurst seems always looking for the next idea — sometimes through the course of a single song — making Whatever You Want It To Be's garage pop as much a motto as a title.
