Australian band, frequently noted for clever, honest
lyrics, and sweet vocals. Frequently compared to
Belle and Sebastian.
Usually quite a stripped back sound: Vocals and Brushes on Snare Drum (Tali White), Guitar (Marty Donald), Bass (Mark Monnone). Often, fans of Twee find the Lucksmiths to their taste.
Apparently they do very well in the US College Charts, but receive limited attention in Australia due to the structure of the industry, and in particular, the refusal of the National Radio Station, Triple J, to play their music. They received international exposure when supporting Belle and Sebastian.
On the Candle Records label.
