The Go-Betweens – Tallulah (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
The Go-Betweens never quite got the commercial foothold their songs deserved, but among devoted followers of literate, melody-driven guitar pop, Robert Forster and Grant McLennan rank among the finest songwriting partnerships their era produced. Released in 1987, Tallulah found the Brisbane group at a creative peak, refining the tension between Forster's cerebral cool and McLennan's open-hearted romanticism into something genuinely distinctive.
For The Go-Betweens fifth album, they added multi-instrumentalist Amanda Brown, and she broadened their sound and gave it more drama. The album is a pivotal one in their discography and sits as a stepping-stone between their early era, and their more richly textured later work. Paste Magazine included it in their list of the best new-wave albums and said that it features ""several signature works by the group's chief writers, most notably McLennan's infectiously chorused shoulda-been-hits ""Right Here"" and ""Bye Bye Pride,"" as well as such characteristically edgy Forster compositions as the undertowing ""House That Jack Kerouac Built"" and ""The Clarke Sisters,"" a haunting character study of spinsters that perfectly captures it's author's eye for detail.""
