The pristine guitar-pop peaks and clean sonic lines of Bright Side, by Perth-based NZ songwriter Damien Binder.
It's an album that addresses themes of self-discovery, re-discovery resolve and self-determination, often in the face of external opposition.
A blend of traditional pop-rock instrumentation and electronic textures creates a throughly contemporary sound that draws a line back through the history of emotive rock, acoustic singer-songwriter and indie guitar sounds.
