“Seven minutes fifty one!” you scream, bloodshot eyes darting rabidly from side to side. “Where am I going to pull a stray eight minutes from, I don’t even have time to shower at the moment let alone indulge in glorious, glorious progressive dance music!”
You’re agitated but you’re gonna play it cool today because here at Sound Doctrine I have but one motto, and that is ‘Have Fun With It’. Bad haircut? Have fun with it. Your exorcist is running late? Have fun with it? Xbox live store not accepting your paypal account? Have fun with it. There’s a pattern here friends and it’s a pattern of non-committal geniality you easy going sons of guns. Look at you, you’re doing it already!

This song:

a) There are Dusty Springfield look of love vocal samples cut and spliced throughout
b) It’s released through Solitaire, the upstart label of Dan Rutman and Hamish Mitchell from oh, I don’t know, ONLY ONE OF THE BEST CURRENT AUSTRALIAN BANDS THERE IS, GUYS. Correct, they are from the band I’lls who are reportedly mere moments from releasing a new song of their own.
c) There is a heavily filtered didgeridoo living in the songs third quadrant.
4) River Yarra is real name Raudie McLeod which is a great name, isn’t it?
e) It’s a marvelously textured thing that has a consistent, throbbing bed of bass across its length with some colourful sheets of synth and sample on top. It’s not rocket science but it’s driving in its patience and it’s all carefulness and it’s rather good.

Go on then:
