Review by Terrascope - June 2007


Finishing off the trio of slightly twisted pop loveliness is Glyn Bailey, whose latest offering “Songs From The Old Illawalla” is a sparkling collection of songs with subject matter ranging from Torturers, a famous footballers last match, perverted clowns, and Apollo astronauts.

To complement such an array of subjects the music roams across a variety of musical pastures, a bit of country, pop, art-rock and psych all carefully blended together. Within the songs the rich deep vocals ride the musical surf with confidence and dexterity, adding a feel of early Bowie to several of the songs, especially the 8 minute “The Ballad of Deano”.
