Tallulah CD

For The Go-Betweens fifth album, they added multi-instrumentalist Amanda Brown, and she broadened their sound and gave it more drama. The album is a pivotal one in their discography and sits as a stepping-stone between their early era, and their more richly textured later work. Paste Magazine included it in their list of the best new-wave albums and said that it features "several signature works by the group's chief writers, most notably McLennan's infectiously chorused shoulda-been-hits "Right Here" and "Bye Bye Pride," as well as such characteristically edgy Forster compositions as the undertowing "House That Jack Kerouac Built" and "The Clarke Sisters," a haunting character study of spinsters that perfectly captures it's author's eye for detail."
