Melbourne muso Tim Wheatley has just released his debut EP Every Angry Inch under the moniker Crooked Saint.
The former member of Rushcutter and The Sparrows has worked without a band for the first time on this release. After hearing “The Big Easy,” it doesn’t sound like he’s missing them. This is such a lush alt-country number, brooding and dark but with a gorgeous melodic core.
Tim’s not working entirely alone though. The EP sees him reuniting with his Sparrows bandmate Michael Badger. Together the pair set about rerecording Tim’s demos and making them the rich tunes we hear on the disc.
You can hear “The Big Easy” above, and further EP tracks at the Crooked Saint MySpace page. Crooked Saint will travel around the country soon to promote Every Angry Inch, so if you like what you hear make sure you get out and support him!
