On their 1989 album A Love Affair With Nature, Sydney’s indie-pop dream team of Stephen O’Neill (once of The Lighthouse Keepers) and Frances Gibson made good on the promise of their debut, 1987’s The African Man’s Tomato: the songs here are ridiculously confident, performed with offhand bravura. O’Neill’s guitar is the driving force, a chiming, driving strum that creates a liquid architecture for Gibson’s plain-speaking vocals. There are too many highlights here, but “Sound Of The City” captures both their gift for wayward melody and a certain inner-city, laissez-faire attitude.
