Don't let this go to your head Mistletone, but - you f!#%king rule.

This new record label isn't even two years old, yet they've released some of the most exciting new music around (Ariel Pink, Panda Bear, Dan Deacon). Now add Ross McLennan to that list.

Recorded entirely in his North Melbourne home studio, SYMPATHY FOR THE NEW WORLD is the second post-Snout solo album from this one-man chamber rock auteur. Sounding alternately like The Beach Boys, Lambchop, or fellow weirdo songsmiths Richard Davies or Cass McCombs, SYMPATHY is an album that's mellow and meandering, yet dark and thoughtful. With grandiose dips and swells, it's the sort of long player that allows you to either chill out on its surface, or dive into its depths.

Keep this up Mistletone, and I'll marry you...
