LOWER PLENTY - SISTER SISTER LP

Lulu’s:

Lower Plenty are such a treasure of Melbourne music. So difficult to classify, they tread through folk, psych, proto-punk and country with a swagger that is all theirs. Recalling at times the ambitions of early VU tracks that treat Dylan with reverence and contempt... also maybe Jim Shephard, drunkest Lee Hazlewood, Sybille Baier, JT IV, stuff like that... but they're on their own trip.

Bedroom Suck:

Melbourne’s Lower Plenty are comprised of some of Australia’s most talented musicians. The quartet are typically Australian in that they seem to exist on borrowed members, drawing together musicians responsible for bands like Total Control, The UV Race, Deaf Wish, The Focus and Dick Diver.

Unlike the harsh and direct approach of many of these outfits, Lower Plenty take the circular route, preferring to dwell in isolation and self-reflection, the result being some truly astonishing home recordings.
