Mayday

THE third album from Hunters & Collectors, Mark Seymour, and his band the Undertow is a very Aussie album.

Not just because the voice is one that is very distinctively ours in Seymour, but for some of the subject matter he touches on.

Football and FIFO workers are two of these, in an album that sometimes feels rock and sometimes feel country.

What it is the whole way through is engaging and emotional, as a lot of what makes up Australia's cultural identity is touched on.

It will also leave you asking questions about this culture as well.

Seymour is at his finest vocally, and really puts his all into every track.
