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:
“The train was crammed, the heat stifling. We feel out of sorts, but do not quite know if we are hungry or drowsy. But when we have fed and slept, life will regain its looks, and the American instruments will make music in the merry cafe described by our friend Lange. And then, sometime later, we die.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“Great music is that which penetrates the ear with facility and leaves the memory with difficulty. Magical music never leaves the memory.”
—Thomas Beecham (1879–1961)
“Nothing is capable of being well set to music that is not nonsense.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
