I can understand why you might have decided to lump them in with the flying nun bands, sonically they’re similar. Untune the sky definitely has something of The Clean about it, and Tall Dwarfs. But I also believe it’s a better album than any release of either the clean or tall dwarfs, in scope.

There is also something of the brit pop about it, sure – that was the time. But there is something really distinctly australian about this album that tugs at the heart strings of a resident.

I also wouldn’t say Morrissey off the bat as a vocal similarity. Consider how Davies voice goes charmingly out of tune at just the right time, or stays kind of out of it for the duration of a song (see ‘Rebecca’). Perhaps Lawrence of Felt fame is a better comparison.

You’re right though. ‘Timeless’ is the word.
