Jack Frost - Something to Write Home About
"Putting key members of two of Australia's best bands together meant that a high level of expectation was already in place for Jack Frost's debut, but quite happily that expectation was met with flying colors. Quite wisely, neither Kilbey nor McLennan try to make their collaboration simply an extension of their respective bands -- while a certain familiarity is unavoidable, the two make a successful effort to try for something more. Part of this derives from the working set-up for the project; McLennan and Kilbey play just about everything themselves aside from some strings, woodwinds, and horns, with drum machines and synths adding a consciously technological edge to the proceedings at points. Jack Frost as a whole makes for a worthy listen on its own merits instead of simply those of its creators' other work. ~ Ned Raggett, All Music Guide"
A wonderful, classic album - by any stretch of the imagination.
Now available again - with new artwork and liner notes by Steve Kilbey and bonus tracks.
