Playtime For John Mountain
Sensory Projects
INDIE
Five years on from the hugely acclaimed ‘Wear The Weight Of The Resting Sky’ (SRP018), ‘Playtime for John Mountain’ is The Rectifiers’ most ambitious and accomplished work to date and signals the return of one of Melbourne’s most singular and ahead-of-the-curve bands, emboldened with a beatific new musical and lyrical vision. Put simply, ‘Playtime for John Mountain’ is a pastoral pop masterpiece.
There were musical touchstones along the way -- namely, The Kinks’ ‘Are The Village Green Preservation Society’, ‘Odyssey and Oracle’ by The Zombies, ‘The Three EPs’ by The Beta Band, the entire Hank Wiliams canon, and the Fearles Freaks documentary -- but fans of The Rectifiers will recognize ‘Playtime for John Mountain’ as uniquely theirs.
BEAT “Truly magnificent and engaging” … ABC RADIO NATIONAL “Luscious, seductive music that recalls the delights of Mercury Rev, The Flaming Lips and The Golden Palominos” ...
THE AGE “A work of quiet majesty”
