  Any Young Mechanic

  Having taken their name from a line in ‘Hooray For Hollywood’ – inspired by the song’s jarring use in Robert Altman’s The Long Goodbye – there is an aptly cinematic quality to Any Young Mechanic’s music.

  On their debut album The Modern Shoe Is Ruining The Foot, the Tarntanya/Adelaide five-piece conjure up vivid, widescreen vistas that blend folk music’s enduring charms with a musical dexterity and sharp vision reaching beyond the genre’s usual corners.

  A mesh of criss-crossing rhythmic paths, melodic alleys and lyrical highways, the record possesses an immediacy that quickly turns its 12 tracks into lifelong friends - though no two listens ever seem quite the same.
