Ex-Melbournites Louise O’Reilly and Paul Hannan (now south east Queenlanders) wrote and recorded this stunning alt-country lament during the flooding January rains. With ghostly slide guitars and a quiet, slapping rhythm behind them, they build a powerful image of the natural world; the howling wind and the river pushing through the turbines, churning power for the people in the valley below. Gorgeous, mytho-poetic songwriting.
