Toby Martin’s penchant for nostalgia, rhyming couplets and dreamy piano folk heralds the spiritual return of The Whitlams’ Tim Freedman: “It’s raining hard on the new Coke sign, I’m walking home after closing time/The streets are full of the ghosts of drinkers, who raise their glasses up to sink us.” (It rhymes, yes, but what exactly does it mean?) This wretched, mewling pap was awful but iconic the first time around, then mildly funny in the hands of Tim Minchin, now somewhere between creepy and depressing.
