Not the music but the means of playing it.

Only intended as a novelty but in a strange way I can't help but like this.....

Mrs is from family of Kenya settlers of 3 generations and spoke Swahili as first language when she first came to Oz as a child.

So this was a nice find for her (The Lord's Prayer in Swahili, stylised and musicalised(sic))...

remember da Boys Next Door from my Melbourne days. Down at the Palais and other grungy locations. Rowland had presence. !! Nick Cave developing his stagecraft as they morphed into Birthday Party. (purists may disagree)

Never spent enough time in Melbourne to enjoy the night life, but do enjoy Nick Cave and a bit of Joe Bonamassa.

this comment is on the money:
Written by guitarist Rowland S Howard at age 16, "Shivers" is a post-punk ballad featuring ironic lyrics regarding teenage relationships and suicide. Originally intended as humorous by Howard, he felt later it had been misinterpreted due to frontman Nick Cave's vocal delivery on the Boys Next Door version. Howard said that "Shivers" was "intended as an ironic comment on the way that I felt that people I knew were making hysterical things out of what were essentially high school crushes". He further explained that the emotional responses of people he knew who were in relationships seemed "incredibly insincere and blown out of proportion" and inspired the cynical lyrics of the song. Howard said later that as a result of Cave's vocals, "Shivers" was "interpreted completely differently and now the song, to most peoples' minds, is something completely different from what I intended it to be". In hindsight, Cave noted that Howard's vocals should have been recorded, as Cave was "never able to do that song justice"

Calling to mind a simpler time, when even a humble café had a soul of sorts - a time before the strong preference for contactless payments, some even trying to get you to pay a machine that also takes the order, with social distancing and muffled-sounding, mask-wearing, staff:

Based on what they've released thus far, the new album thus far sounds promising.

I might have to even buy a physical one.....
