What a difference a step back and a relocation can make.
Alex Wall kicked off his foray into the music world as one third of Gold Coast punk slackers Bleeding Knees Club. As likeable (kinda) as the miscreant trio was (for a short while) there is much more for listeners to gain in his solo guise as Wax Witches. The album still has that same nasally, attitude-ridden cry of his (Habit, Closer To The Lord), which can get a little grating, but there's a bunch of shoegazey, lo-fi surfer gems (Danny Delete, Morning Flowers, Love Slowed) that show how far a small-town misfit has come.
