Spotify listen:
Aussie alt/alt-folk outfit...
fourth album, loved their debut Moonfire, liked the second, disliked their third...
mainly acousitc with some orchestrations/strings on a few tracks...
good mature album, a welcome return to form IMO

Reminds me in some ways of another Oz band, Gang of Youths.
Not sure Alt/Folk is the correct category. At times they almost wander into symphonic rock.
The lead vocalist needs some coaching into how to handle his high notes.

Place them ? Not sure we gain much by trying to rigidly assign a category to some music. Sometimes when it’s in between is the best thing about it.
I have to confess I’ve always been suspicious of the meaning of the bands name. Sounds to my perverted imagination like the title of a gay porn flick.
