Album Review: Rob Snarski - Wounded Bird

For the longest time the dulcet voice fronting The Blackeyed Susans (among other projects), Wounded Bird is Rob Snarski’s debut solo venture and – given his pedigree – a requisitely beautiful affair. Recorded by Shane O’Mara – aided by Snarski’s long-term arranger and confidante Dan Luscombe – it’s an immaculately-crafted batch of songs delivered with intricate panache by a stellar cast of guest musicians. From the subtle, Triffids-esque Australiana of Temperature’s Rising to the emotional hues of The Black Caress, it’s smooth and sultry enough to coax life and love back into the most damaged of souls.
