Bush Gothic - Beyond the Pale (2019)

Beyond The Pale is the third album from Bush Gothic. Opening the album is the tale of Jim Jones, a convict who dreamt of revenge and joining the bushrangers to wreak havoc upon the British government who had incarcerated him. Lawson & Banjo make an appearance as does poet Judith Wright, described as ‘the conscience of the nation’. Band leader Jenny M. Thomas rose to a challenge posed by a journalist to re-arrange Pub With No Beer. This saw her add The Lonely String Quartet to a drum heavy arrangement of Slim Dusty’s classic. The string quartet is comprised of members from the Australian Chamber Orchestra and Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and feature on most tracks with Chris Lewis (drumkit) and Dan Witton (doublebass & vocals) completing the core band.
