THE CHURCH
Forget Yourself (True North/Cooking Vinyl)
Reviewed by John Sekerka

A sneaky album. Grizzled veterans of the music biz, down (but not out) under guitar scenesters have been pedalling dreamy passion pop since you were in diapers. Jangly Australian psychedelic rock with enough suave crooning makes the ladies swoon, and tricky guitar plucking makes the gents uh, swoon. It's a win-win situation, and the reason that The Church are still around. As Steve Kilbey (he of the swoony vocals) and Marty Wilson Piper (he of the swoony guitar playin') slither toward their silver anniversary, they deliver another shimmering disc proving there's still plenty left in the tank. G'day.
