The Sleepy Jackson
Lovers
(EMI, 2003)
Aussie weirdo’s classic, melodymungous debut delivers shades of The Quiet Beatle.
For anyone who managed to get hold of The Sleepy Jackson’s debut EP in early 2003, it became quickly evident that Luke Steele, the band’s pop soothsayer and chief tunesmith, had the potential to deliver great things. Happily, a few months later, the Aussie wanderer stepped up to the plate and did just that, producing a 13-track panorama of enthralling melodic inventions and ambitious curios. Like an impatient child let loose in an emporium of vintage Rickenbackers, ambient keys and female vocal support, Steele veers between bottleneck americana (Good Dancers), orchestral-synth pop (Don’t You Know) and oddball piano sketches (Fill Me With Apples) with scattershot enthusiasm and a debt to a certain George Harrison. But make no mistake – Lovers still manages to succeed as a complete album and, when listened to from beginning to end, sounds even better today than it did half a decade ago.
