Bridie’s most politically-charged album, dealing with the concerns of Australia’s refugee laws. With all the elements of previous albums (pop, electronica, rock, ambient) now amalgamated into a fully realised sonic package, Wake plays heavily upon the human drama of struggle and loss. Produced by David Bridie with Brett Doig.
Review 1Review 2Review 3Dr. Seuss Is Painting In The Sky
we’re all talking about weather in America
And the state of tv
we’re washing in dirty water we never flaunt our assets or our
business schemes
Take 15 grams of Quinine with a bottle of Sal Volatile
Smoke Chesterfield non-filters and then jump in the sea
when Dr Seuss is painting in the sky
you might catch a glimpse if you raise your focus
somewhat higher
You're No Flower
she talks to him long distance
on the big red telephone
She’s hoping she will plead with her to come home
You’re no flower anymore
Is this deadly nightshade or lily of the valley
Don’t walk out so far
downtown Hindley St
I’ve always found it dangerous out there
You’re no flower anymore you’re no flower.
