Ever since my music palate developed some character, from my early days of boy band popcorns to Miles Davis’ Bitches Brew, I’ve always imagined listening to a record with a distinguishing feature that let’s you wallow at the peak of a melody, harmony and tune; constantly pushing the limits of the precipices.

A song that let’s you feel suspended, on free fall, while staring at the heavens in great detail. To be able to freeze that moment and produce all of its components into a song. The indie-disco quartet from Sydney, The Jezabels managed to compose an eleven-track album titled The Brink.

After listening to the ‘Look Of Love’ track of The Jezabels’ soundcloud page, I did not want to listen to anything else for the next three to four days. Once I got the album from iTunes, my soul felt joy.

From the time they began to pen their anthologies of creative collaborations, since three EP’s, Dark Storm, The Man Is Dead, She’s So hard, the ‘Prisoner’ album and a live performance recording at the Hordern Pavilion, The Brink is the latest collection of their emotional journey, colourfully described with their mesmerising melodies and lyrical perspectives.

Just when I thought it could not get any better, I was blindsided with pure bliss from musical fairy dust that engulfed my somewhat of an abyss of a heart, that the new album glimmered with in abundance. Perhaps I am merely exaggerating, but that is truly how I feel. I really cannot say which track is my favourite; I like them all too damn much!
