Lockdown Listen Day 52 (03/09/2021)
Day 52 of Lockdown Listen yesterday had us paying a visit Down Under:
88. Crowded House - Woodface (Capitol)
89. Spiderbait - Ivy And The Big Apples (Polydor)
Although top Australian pop & alternative rock band Crowded House may have found chart success and received an equal amount of critical acclaim for their third studio album "Woodface" which was released in 1991, it did not quite resonate with us. It may have been soothingly melodic but we somehow found it bland and unstimulating. Apart from the worldwide hit "Weather With You" the rest of the tracks were rather tame and did not come anywhere close to it.
We however, found lesser known Australian alternative rock band Spiderbait's 1996 release "Ivy And The Big Apples", a tastier, engaging and a much more intoxicating proposition, than their more luminous peers. It was no surprise that the album, their third, won the 1997 ARIA Award for Best Alternative Release.
