Scott & Charlene’s Wedding

22 May

Unshakably Australian New Yorker Craig Dermody wastes little breath as Scott & Charlene’s Wedding. Though his NY turn brings with it oodles of Lou Reed drawl, it’s the Melbourne lilt that shines through most strongly, a homecoming for a long tradition of post-Velvet Underground, jangling Oceanic indie rock, and one that Dermody nails with an endearing mix of confessional detail and self-deprecation.

Craig Dermody, an unshakably Australian New Yorker, wastes little breath as Scott & Charlene’s Wedding on anything other than his continual struggle with emigré status. “I don’t know what I’m doing any of the time”, admits Dermody on ‘Fakin’ It NYC’, and though his NY turn brings with it oodles of Lou Reed drawl, it’s the Melbourne lilt that shines through most strongly. But while the combination seems uncanny to yanks, it’s a homecoming for a long tradition of post-Velvet Underground, jangling Oceanic indie rock, and one that Dermody nails with an endearing mix of confessional detail and self-deprecation.
