Smith Street Band frontman Wil Wagner sounds beat to shit on the opening Ducks Fly Together, before lifting with the pugilistic bursts of guitar noise. There are shades of Jeff Mangum mixed with Australian rock greatness, resulting in an incredible, self-deprecating love song. Lines like “Let’s fall in love/Somewhere that we’ll want to stay” hit like a bejewelled dagger to the aorta. EP Don’t Fuck With Our Dreams is out this August, and I’m tipping she’ll be a corker.
