Stream the Debut LP from Quality Used Cars

Leave a comment

When I first heard “To Wendy Love Steve,” I’ll admit, I wasn’t sure what to make of Quality Used Cars; Francis Tait has a rather distinctive voice, and I wasn’t sure whether I was on board for it or not. But, when that chorus dropped in, I was stunned, and couldn’t wait for more. Today, we get more as the Good Days/Bad Days is finally available to stream. These feel like the songs you want to accompany your favorite storyteller; the songs have great narratives, wound about these gentle little Americana elements sliding off into the sunny horizon. I’ll admit, it doesn’t have that immediate reward that makes for the thirsty hits of today, but dammit if its not rewarding if you just bathe in the joy of Tait’s songwriting. Grab the LP from Spoilsport Records.

While having worked in the Australian music scene for some time, Francis Tait finally has a project to call his own, Quality Used Cars. On February 19th we’ll all be treated to Good Days/Bad Days via Spoilsport Records, and here we’ve got another single that might grab you. Francis has a very matter-of-fact delivery, distinct in tone and style, which is one of those things you take with you when you walk away from this track. I like the subtlety of the song’s he’s writing too; they’ve got these brief little pop nuggets that bubble to the surface during the chorus, as it does here, but its almost like a brilliant fireside storytelling from a great Australian bard. Been really feeling this one and here’s to hoping you will too.

Francis Tait has worked in various outfits around Melbourne, but it sounds as if his debut solo record under the moniker of Quality Used Cars might be the one that sort of breaks out into the open. Musical, the song definitely fits into the vibe of the Aussie casual pop, steady and careful, pensive and powerful; you’d be forgiven, too, if you thought you’d heard it before, as the sound has grown increasingly familiar around the world. But, an area that allows Tait to forge his own ground is his vocal delivery. He ends up sounding an awful lot like he’s delivering a sermon about the trials of an employee at his father’s record store…oddly reminds me a bit of Courtney Barnett’s distinctive delivery. Good Days/Bad Days will be out next February via Spoilsport Records.
