Ever-present on the Melbourne fringe, Immigrant Union rise above the perfunctory here on Alison with a breezy alt-country, whiskey-drenched ballad. The twangy qualities are a charm, garnishing some crisp production values. Not sure if it’s due to my not paying attention, but has Courtney Barnett always been in the band, or is she a new recruit? She’s ace.
