The Stevens – Good (Chapter Music)

The spirit of GBV and Pavement is alive and well on this Melbourne 4-piece’s excellent second album.

Satisfying not as simple as they sound guitars make hay with gorgeous go ahead drumming.

In general the feel is of the joy of the bandroom.

But let’s also point out the superior songwriting and nagging tunes at the heart of gems like ‘Chancer’ and ‘Cruiser’.

It’s a beautiful thing.
