July 25, 2008 Earworm


You can never be sure of what The Sleepy Jackson's songs are about; when your leader is equally enamored with surrealism and christianity and possesses a sense of humor that allows him to see just how often the two collide things can get a bit obtuse. The listener can spend hours trying to figure out what he's on about or can take the wiser route of assigning their own meaning and, with that in mind, "Rain Falls For Wind" is about love against all odds and an urgent need for something or anything. And it's a damn good pop song to get you moving.

Three years after the release of the last The Sleepy Jackson album it's been announced that front man Luke Steele is about start a solo tour and release an album. Obviously lacking a sense of urgency but moving nonetheless...
