Description
On Tallulah, the band's fifth album, they added multi-instrumentalist Amanda Brown, and she broadened their sound and gave it more drama. The album is a pivotal one in their discography and sits as a stepping stone between their early era and their more richly textured later work. Paste Magazine included it in their list of the best new-wave albums and said that it features "several signature works by the group's chief writers, most notably McLennan's infectiously chorused shoulda-been-hits 'Right Here' and 'Bye Bye Pride,' as well as such characteristically edgy Forster compositions as the undertowing 'House That Jack Kerouac Built' and 'The Clarke Sisters,' a haunting character study of spinsters that perfectly captures its author's eye for detail." The Go-Betweens are one of the most beloved and influential Australian groups of all time and were the quintessential cult band. Throughout their hugely acclaimed career they sustained an unparalleled artistic consistency which year by year matched the very best of their contemporaries. Their three Beggars Banquet albums will be made available individually on vinyl for the first time in over 30 years. The records were remastered in 2019 for the second volume of Domino's G Stands for Go-Betweens Anthology.
