Classic quotes from the Australian street press – 3: Angus and Julia Stone

Is the writer or the editor more at fault here? “Their trademark gentle acoustic offering that acted more as a gentle outline…” You decide.

“For folk singers, turning up the amp can be the difference between happiness and heartbreak. Angus and Julia Stone have taken quite a chance with their new album, adopting a heavier, bigger band sound. Their trademark gentle acoustic offering that acted more as a gentle outline to their respective voices has been electrified. The quiet moment that once sat next to Angus’ and sister Julia’s breaths is now filled with a battle between drums, banjos, blues guitars and forceful piano notes” – Eleven Magazine on Angus and Julia Stone

MORAL: Many cooks make light broth.

by Everett True

My name is Everett True. I am a music critic. This is what I do. I criticise music. The clue is in my job description – music critic. I do not consider myself a journalist, as I do not research or report hard news. I do not consider myself a commentator as I believe that everyone should be a participant. I criticise people and in return I am not surprised if other people criticise me. It is part of the whole deal of being in the public arena. I am Everett True. Believe in me and I have power like a God. Quit believing in me and I no longer exist.
