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 for the terms good and bad, they indicate no positive quality in things regarded in themselves, but are merely modes of thinking, or notions which we form from the comparison of things with one another. Thus one and the same thing can be at the same time good, bad, and indifferent. For instance music is good for him that is melancholy, bad for him who mourns; for him who is deaf, it is neither good nor bad.”
—Baruch (Benedict)
“Nothing is capable of being well set to music that is not nonsense.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
“Not to sink under being man and wife,
But get some color and music out of life?”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
