Hailing from South Australia, Mr Wednesday take their cues less from the inspiration around them and more from outer space – the opening “Kismet” on the band’s debut album The Garden Where Parties Grow is like something from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Echoes of the likes of Pink Floyd flitter throughout The Garden Where Parties Grow, particularly on the title cut, which builds nicely to a resounding conclusion. Elsewhere on Act I “Spare Sky For Miles” is delicate, drifting away to near nothingness.

For, yes, Mr Wednesday have split The Garden Where Parties Grow into two sides: pretentious in extremis, there’s nevertheless little doubt that Mr Wednesday have a bevy of interesting ideas. It’s only on the likes of “On the Tail of Day 1”, which seriously apes Radiohead’s “Fitter, Happier”, that the band are drowned in their own influences rather than doing things by their own devices.

“Towers Like Candles” shows the influence of the likes of Four Tet, but it’s got its own style, with sleepy vocals from frontman Moon giving way to Sigur Rós-like soars. Atmospheric and inventive, Mr Wednesday have made an artistic statement with their debut album. Where they go from here, and whether they can survive in Australia playing music that is decidedly outside the norm.
