Conrad Standish and Tom Carlyon are formerly of the Australian noir-rock trio Devastations. While that band’s thoughtful, honest work could bring a listener to tears, <em>Deleted Scenes</em>, Standish and Carlyon’s debut as a duo, is much more interested in physical pleasures.
<p>The sound is reminiscent of Peter Gabriel’s earliest solo material—groovy, spacey, exotic, and lush, with lyrics to match: In “Gucci Mountain,” Standish sings, “I’m chewing bamboo off the coast of Casanova / The principles of leisure, the DNA of pleasure / Jamaica, Jamaica, don’t jinx me, Jamaica / Don’t stop me now.”</p>
<p>Those lines are fairly typical for <em>Deleted Scenes</em>; cheekier turns of phrase are found elsewhere in the album, which gets its full-figured, detailed sound in part from Denis Blackham, of <a href="http://www.skyemastering.com/">Skye Mastering</a>.</p>
<p>My complete review of Standish/Carlyon's <em>Deleted Scenes</em> will appear in our June issue, but you can sample three tracks right now over at <a href="http://thequietus.com/articles/12191-standish-carlyon-deleted-scenes-album-stream">The Quietus</a>.</p>
<p>Standish/Carlyon’s <em>Deleted Scenes</em> will be released on Tuesday, May 14, by <a href="http://felte.bandcamp.com/">Felte</a>.</p>
