The reigning superhunk of Australian rock returns with a commanding and catchy rock stomper, creeping with tense aplomb like Mark Seymour in Talking To A Stranger (not just saying that because that Avalanches remix was in YouTube’s related clips). Under Your Skin is decent despite its brevity, making the most of every second with resounding volatility. But it’s still not as dangerous as it could be – killer vocal take aside, the elements of the track come together like a weak Danger Mouse produced Black Keys cut. Still, it’s a promising sign that the year 2014 could well be a big one for Sultan, primed to parlay already-garnered acclaim into whatever constitutes as a rock crossover success these days.
