The Suburb in Between

The Mabels

10 January 2007

All I can say is thank God I didn't wake up this morning to read that Jodi Phillis was calling it quits and retiring from the music business too…

So by now you're probably beginning to hear a trend. Yep, that's right, it's “the Candle Records sound.” A sound typified by backing harmonies, witty lyrics, acoustic guitars, references to cricket, football, the weather, love, relationships, and an uncanny knack for finding beauty in even the most mundane. The Happy Medium Song of the Day is “The Suburb in Between” by The Mabels. They're a four-piece from Melbourne and this track comes from their only full-length "long-player" released seven years ago: The Closest People. I love the sense it conveys of everything and everybody being right in a place where they should be: the singer lives in one "place" and the person he's on his way to meet is in a different "place." But there's "a whole suburb full of love" somewhere in between where they can meet and find a common ground… (Please use the comments box to share your thoughts.)
