AN ALBUM JUST EMAIL WIN@TWOTHOUSAND.COM.AU WITH THE SUBJECT 'NEW DIMENSION'. SUBSCRIBER ONLY ENTRY.
Quiet achiever Matthew J. Tow may not be a household name, but this Sydney-sider's been melting tuned-in heads here and abroad for years.
Tow fronted 60s pop-tinged indie rockers Drop City throughout the 90s, playing damn catchy Ray Davies-meets-Oasis fare until disbanding in 2000. Since 2002, Tow's Lovetones have carried on this mutton-chopped tradition, though there sound is less scruffy, more sharp-suited.
DIMENSIONS is perfect Sunday morning music; deftly written and well-orchestrated 60s pop, with lots of twelve-string chime, soaring melodies, and spaced-out segues. Think Air mixed with contemporaries like Plush, Belles Will Ring, or Brian Jonestown Massacre (with whom Tow has written songs and toured).
Elegant and understated, DIMENSIONS is perfect for sipping long island laced iced tea by the pool all summer long.

About
TwoThousand is a subcultural guide to Sydney, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Sydney writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence TwoThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
