“Lush, clever, and rich, The Enthusiast’s set is a picturesque field of rolling hills, although the noisier bits – which include a trumpet – warn you to watch where you tread. It’s a truly lovely set filled with bitey moments, a chocolate-box painting of waist-high grass but containing the occasional monster.” Gallery Listen

I would like to acknowledge that the gigs that are pictured here, the stages they’re played on, the bars and venues they’re held in, and the good times they represent, are all held on lands that were never ceded by Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I acknowledge these First Australians as the traditional custodians of the continent, whose cultures are among the oldest living cultures in human history. I pay respect to the Elders of the community and extend my recognition to their descendants.
