Released on a limited run of 7” as a fundraiser for SLAM (Save Live Australian Music), Quasimodo’s Dream sees all-round top bloke Wally De Backer team up with comedy troupe Perfect Tripod (Tripod plus Eddie Perfect) an obscure cut from the Australian ‘80s canon. The kooky flourishes of The Reels’ original are transformed into an endearing a capella beauty, with Wally’s contemplative vocal hitting the mark. Despite the concept and presence of Tripod suggesting otherwise, the track doesn’t play for laughs – it’s just plain good. Preorder your 7” (and support a worthy cause) at pledgemusic.com/projects/slam.
