I've been giving Passenger's Flight of the Crow album some massive time on my exciting road trips to and from work. It's really effortless to listen to and features some excellent Australian collaborators. It has even cynics like myself enjoying a song featuring Josh Pyke even when I thought that Middle of the Hill had sent me to putting the middle of sledgehammer into my own skull.
Chris reckons he sounds a bit James Blunt, but I urge anyone thinking this to rethink the Bob Dylan comparisons of Tallest Man On Earth.
Golden Thread features the ghostly Matty Corby who is ever increasingly being mentioned in the same breath as brilliance. This new clip is yet another fine collaboration but this time between artist and animator namely Mike Charlton.
Don't be fooled, this isn't a target advertisement but it is quite hypnotic.
Passenger is touring Australia with Boy and Bear through September & October.

wrong headline for sure. i almost tuned out but decided to read on lol. with the likes of katie noonan collaborating surely you could have picked someone else :P not to mention the fact he was the pretty boy smug fuck who was only got as far as he did (wait.. how far WAS that?) because of the tween vote. then again if he'd taken a different avenue to success and notoriety i'd no doubt be heralding him. who knows. australian idol ist der falsche Weg. relaxing clip though.
perhaps you might be better served seeking out some of his tunes or seeing him live
he's taking a very different route to the young divas of this world
im all for bringing down the idol brigade but he's exceptionally good. ill find you one of his current photos, he's ditched the pretty boy image big time.
oww i should point out the track is more passenger than matt corby, he only features in bits.
its worth checking, you probably still wouldn't like it but his songwriter abilities are impressive.
OMGZ he iz s0 dreamy.
