The Great Dividing Range (Album)
The eponymous debut album was produced at Studio Couch in Fremantle, Western Australia by Shaun O'Callaghan (producer of the John Butler Trio, Eskimo Joe and others). It was released in early 2005 by NonZero Records and distributed by Shock Records. The tracks "Comfort Zone" and "Prisoner of Nostalgia" received airplay on radio station Triple J and the album gained extensive airplay on the ABC regional network. Reviews from such publications as Drum Media and Time Off were enthusiastic and favourable.
Most of the album can be said to be within the genre of alt-country but ranging from the catchy ("Comfort Zone") to psychedelic ("Starry Starry") to philosophical ("Mr Tailor") and verging on experimental ("Age of.......").

Famous quotes containing the words dividing and/or range:
“For winter’s rains and ruins are over,
And all the seasons of snows and sins;
The days dividing lover and lover,
The light that loses, the night that wins;
And time remembered is grief forgotten,
And frosts are slain and flowers begotten,
And in green underwood and cover
Blossom by blossom the spring begins.”
—A.C. (Algernon Charles)
“During the cattle drives, Texas cowboy music came into national significance. Its practical purpose is well known—it was used primarily to keep the herds quiet at night, for often a ballad sung loudly and continuously enough might prevent a stampede. However, the cowboy also sang because he liked to sing.... In this music of the range and trail is “the grayness of the prairies, the mournful minor note of a Texas norther, and a rhythm that fits the gait of the cowboy’s pony.””
—Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
