Description
It couldn't be more anticipated. After all, it follows one of the most successful debut efforts in Australian music history. It was almost four years ago that the Hooper kids from Violet Town were unearthed by Triple J, hooked up bassist Warren Jenkin and drummer Adam Pedretti, recorded their debut album 'Reflector' and rocketed all the way to #1, half a million album sales and four 2000 Aria's. But that was then. These days, the representatives of Killing Heidi are older, wiser and tougher. And so is their latest musical incarnation. Killing Heidi's latest album is as much a celebration of versatility as it is maturity. The stripped back ballad 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 lets the weeping picking of Jesse's guitar, the fragility of the vocals and the space inspired soundscapes do all the talking. There's even an infectious gospel sounding rollick called SWEEET, which lyrically addresses the issue of Aboriginal Rights. "Singing about political issues is not something we usually do - we wanted to make sure that it was fun and positive", says Ella. More light relief comes in the form of the deliciously melodic HEAVEN SENT and TAKE IT - Ella's lyrical sequel to "Mascara". "That song is kind of me looking back at my school days with much more affection than I was able to when I was there. It's kind of "you don't really appreciate some things until they're over".
