Album Review: The Stillsons - Never Go Your Way

It won’t be everybody’s cup of tea, but it’s worth taking a sip.

 

The Stillsons revel in the country-folk realm on third album Never Go Your Way, framed with a playfully atmospheric indie bent. Cat Canteri's ever reliable vocals simply stand out here, a number of tracks getting her soulful treatment (Another Lover) while she runs riot with the melancholic subject matter of others (Feel So Young). The latter half of the album is largely confined to Canteri's harmonising with Justin Bernasconi's Neil Finn-ish storytelling, Go Home the duo's highlight. It won't be everybody's cup of tea, but it's worth taking a sip.
