Austral - Thylacine - Throwdown Hoedown
Austral's "10-second pitch" tune - if you're into this, you'll love the rest of the album! It features fiery fiddles and flute, balls-to-the-wall guitar, percussion and sub drops, and sprinkles of harmonica and banjo all kicking off at a cracking 130bpm.
The first tune 'The Ant Bite' (reel) was composed by Caity Brennan about an unfortunate encounter with an ant at Woodford Folk Festival and the second 'Last of the Litter' (slip jig) was composed by Angus Barbary about the life of one of his family dogs growing up. The two were thrown together and Austral collectively decided it had a kind of hoedown vibe so, hey presto, you've got a throw-down hoedown.
