From the retro Welcome Back Kotter-esque lilt of “thank you for the love” to the 1950s jazz lounge inspired bossanova flavour of the title track “somewhere sunshine”, every song on this album offers something equally satisfying and diverse both for the ears and the soul. Death, love, life – but let’s not forget the sun is always shining….somewhere. “Somewhere Sunshine” once again reunites indie folk-stress Rachael Brady and musical partner Nigel Kerr with producer/bassist Paulie B (george /the beautiful girls’ ) to deliver a vastly more mature and musically lush affair than their earlier efforts on Peace by Peace (2006). Fans of the earlier, more raw work however should not be disappointed with the playground of new and subtle sounds like the gooseflesh inducing vocal effects on “prodigal daughter” (for those attentive enough to hear them), or the sea shanty like wind organ drone on “no small thing”. For those unaware of this fiercely independent singer/songwriter then certainly, “Somewhere Sunshine” is the perfect “in” to become acquainted with one of “Brisbane’s best kept secrets”. (Time Off Magazine) Plainly evident is an all around blossoming since the first album – in Brady as a vocalist and songwriter, in Kerr as a guitarist and songwriter and in Bromley as a producer. The result is a sonically (and lyrically) interesting, diverse and beautiful collection of well written and realized tunes that certainly run the risk of being your new favourites for sunny days an
