Stunning double album from Melbourne/ Berlin singer-songwriter Ned Collette. A truly accomplished work, a gorgeous dark folk opus, fleshed out in lush but precise and sparkling instrumentation thanks to a band of extraordinary collaborators. Featuring regular Wirewalker cohorts Joe Talia (who also co-produced the album with Collette) and Ben Bourke, plus Alexander Garsden, cellist Anthea Caddy, and piano from The Necks’ Chris Abrahams.

Ned says that Old Chestnut is the first album he has made that “feels like the albums I always wanted to make. It’s just messy enough, elaborate enough, simple enough, improvised and collaborative enough...” and it does feel like Old Chestnut is an elevation, and that with it, he has attained a level of songcraft that transcends his already impressive back catalogue. With snippets written as far back as 2008 and 4 years since his last album release, it’s been a long journey. The resultant work is cohesive and articulate in a way few albums are. A mixture of melancholy balladry interwoven with daedal and often delicate instrumentals that not only frame and anchor the “songs” but beautifully showcase the calibre of Collette’s arrangements and musicianship. This is the record that will etch the name Ned Collette into the lexicon of great Australian songwriters.

 

* Did you know IT Records is a local indie label run by one of our staff? Long-time Dixons employee Kate Reid runs the label when she's not in the shop selling records for us. Here is a little bit about the label:

It Records is a niche independent label out of Melbourne Australia, with a unique roster that includes electronic, rock, pop and experimental artists, drawn from diverse genres with a “dark” bent (eg. Post- punk, darkwave, Leftfield, Psych Rock, neofolk, industrial, and synth-wave). Founded in 2014 the label is very much centred in the Melbourne underground scene, the label includes work from emerging artists as well as established and influential musicians. Drawing a parallel between what these artists are doing now and the influence of the music that has come out of the Melbourne and Australian underground in the past.
