Review - Mile From Nowhere
blue jellybeans
EP through ODS
It’s been two years between drinks but
finally there’s a follow-up to their “Two
With You” EP of 1997. Although it doesn’t really have a title, the
cover (like the Beatles,
ACDC,
Metallica, and just about every
debut release by anyone) will become the name over time of this second release
by Brisbane acoustic popsters Miles
From Nowhere.
The listener is eased gently into this EP
with Feigning and dropped emotionally
and heavily out of it with the heart-rending Waiting For
The Last Word. Little Sister
sits comfortably in the middle but the zig-zag created by the up-skaesque Superflange and the decidedly latin
interpretation of Paul
Simon’s Late In The Evening
doesn’t allow the record to flow as well as it could and for this reason alone
is a little disappointing. The effect, though, of Last Word
at the end is quite shattering: I just hope that’s not me one day.
A fine effort for that difficult second
release, but could have been arranged a little differently ««««
