‘Skeletons’, the new offering from Melbourne’s Damon Smith is mostly a piano centric, New Orleans style blues/jazz record - not without the usual hallmarks of this genre - but also liberally or flambéed with tonnes of
top-quality MSG (Movers, Shakers and Groovers). The album will be released on June 17.

Horns twist around the seemingly whisky marinated vocals, while the upright bass, drums and piano lock in tight with just enough room to sound sporadic and groovy, and allow moments of country and even soul to sashay right in. This record compliments Smith’s last album Golden Dappled Thoughts, Momentarily but stylistically speaking, is the antithesis of that 2020 release.
Drawing inspiration from the wry lyricism heard from Aldous Harding and Bill Callahan, the inimitable groove of Dr John, the sincerity of Nina Simone and the musical splendour of bands like Wilco, Smith creates tiny
worlds within these new songs highlighting a predominant theme of self-worth and the part we play in our personal relationships.

Smith’s performances on this record are punctuated with expert musicianship and razor sharp wit, creating a hugely dynamic sonic presence. His virtuosic piano style and ‘whiskey as’ voice is complimented by guest performances from the likes of Wilbur Wilde, the horns from Melbourne’s Sugarfoot Ramblers, Nashville session musician Ross Sermons, local legends David Cosma, Ben Wicks, Ben Franz, Adrian Whyte, Sabrina McKenzie and Harry Omara, with the bulk of the rhythm section performed by Smiths’ band members Adam Coad and Trent McKenzie.
