Scott & Charlene’s Wedding
Brooklyn via Melbourne jangle popper Craig Dermody is back on home turf.
Overview
As Scott & Charlene’s Wedding, Melbourne expat Craig Dermody makes ebullient jangle-pop cut from the same raggedy cloth as Twerps, Witch Hats or Straight Arrows. Lump them all into one category like that and you’d think they were practicing their guitars in the same beer-strewn garage with adjoining sun-drenched backyard, except that Dermody now lives in Williamsburg. Since no one has garages or backyards in Williamsburg one assumes he works out of a bedroom, which is just as fitting when you consider his music's intimacy factor.
On the track “Two Weeks” Dermody tackles the issue of physical distance. He sings about the distance across the Williamsburg bridge, and about how he gets awkward on video chat. It’s a suitable follow-up to last year’s “Epping Line”, a ruminative track about a “sad, sad day” on Melbourne’s South Morang railway line. On his return home he’ll be joined by guests and friends Songs and The Friendsters.
