Song of the Day # 953 The Cannanes


Sydney band who formed in 1984 and are still going which deserves some kind of award for dogged perseverance. This single, which came out five years after their inception, has a brittle, imperfect beauty, which conoisseurs of these things will immediately recognise and appreciate. There's something of the sensibility of the Go Betweens here which is fitting as the band's drummer David Nichols went on to work as a music critic and publish a very fine biography of that particular band.
