THE SLEEPY JACKSON
Lovers (Astralwerks)

This certainly isn't a good time for grandiose pop masterpieces, the kind the Beatles used to crank out after sitting on a mountain top in their nehru jackets with the Maharishi tripping on LSD, but Luke Steele just can't help himself. As the driving force behind The Sleepy Jackson (Marlon I would guess, though Tito is in the running), Steele is indeed a man of vision probably not meant for these times. Lush, plush orchestrated numbers filled with enough tongue in cheek fancy makes this quite a delectable platter. Check your watch at the door and come on in.
