Was looking forward to catching EBAGC at Camp A Low Hum a coupla weekends back, but singer Marcus Hobbs was denied a trans-Tasman flight seat due to gastro. Oh well, shit happens. (Sorry). Mon Repos is a fairly meandering follow-up to Seven Drummers’ lead single Dirty Bird – two-thirds gritty folk storytelling – one-third Crazy Horse guitar breakdown. Decent, but never really arresting.
