Music
The music of the Great Dividing Range shows the influences of country rock pioneers such as Gram Parsons and The Byrds, adding the guitar stylings and rhythms of the lo-fi movement (e.g. Pavement, Guided by Voices) overlaid with experimental synthesizer and noise manipulation effects. The harmonic content is sometimes complex; simple progressions like that of "Comfort Zone" or "Blank Canvas" give way to polychordal sections ("Mr Tailor"), chromatic passages ("Loneliness Is Two Faced") or atonal ramblings ("Age of.....").

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“As polishing expresses the vein in marble, and grain in wood, so music brings out what of heroic lurks anywhere. The hero is the sole patron of music.”

“Let music sound while he doth make his choice;
Then if he lose he makes a swan-like end,
Fading in music.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
