Following his Dream Hotel album, Meares corralled together the dark and evocative Melbourne-based rock quintet Jo Meares' Silver Bullets – allowing him to explore an edgier and at times noisier sound on their debut self-titled vinyl album.
Jo Meares' Silver Bullets stands as a compelling reframing of Meares' songs. Shaded in gothic and alt-country twang, jangly and shadowy folk rock, it conjures up the poetic sway and swagger of a rock 'n' roll corner bar on the streets of Melbourne.
