The media made a biiiiig song and dance about this guy when he died, and suddenly half my Facebook feed were big fans (they'd just never mentioned it until then, same as the ABC). Was a hot minute where I was inexplicably the only Australian who'd never heard of him. Or at least the only honest one. Ideological jabs at self-styled white "progressives" aside, it's pretty... interesting? Definitely not something I'd listen to a lot, or much at all, but I like the blending of old and new world-esque elements, in a tasteful way. There's no real get-up-and-go, but that's also not the idea. And if I'm honest, it's refreshing to see an indigenous musician enjoy some popularity (even if posthumous) without being a fucking rapper. But not a great album. 3/5.
