On this contemplative, wistful example of astute electronic pop production, Melbourne solo artist Major Napier cultivates a rapid percussive groove and orchestral swells as a foundation for his impassioned and impressive vocal range. Cries such as “Are you still playing Slayer and laughing out loud?” deftly provide cultural touchstones. Australia’s answer to Autre Ne Veut, perhaps? Or that might be selling Major Napier short.
