From The South – Cool, Cool Memories

*** If you have a penchant for laidback dream laden harmonic neo-psychedelic music and you don't know this band, you are in for a genuine treat.

Straight from Australia and into your heart, From The South venture into the atmospheric realm of shimmering jangling pop with harmonic instrumentation and deeply lush vocals designed to spirit you into the night, where tender earthbound songs resound, recounting an honesty so seldom heard in today's music.

There’s nothing I’d like more than to go on and on about this album, though the truth of the matter is, when something this pleasant is brought to light, there’s little to say other than that Cool, Cool Memories will hauntingly deliver time and time again, setting your soul on fire with emotional aspirations many of us have kept buried far too deeply and for far too long, as if this part of ourselves requires, or perhaps is deserving of protection … nevertheless, From The South have discovered the key and found a way of tapping into those half forgotten hazed out memories of days past and loves lost, though truth be told, none of those memories are ever truly forgotten, they merely require the right encouragement to bring them to the surface again.
