All Through Winter, debut album from Sydney melodic duo Georgia Fair, comprised of singer/songwriters Jordan Wilson and Ben Riley, owes as much to the alt-rock early days of Whiskeytown or Uncle Tupelo as it does to the golden age of hippiedom. Enlisting the production skills of Band Of Horses bassist Bill Reynolds, the boys went to Asheville, North Carolina to record (the same location that birthed BoH-s Infinite Arms) and emerged with an album part indie pop sing-alongs, part melancholic balladry. Opening single Where You Been? sits in the former camp, a light and breezy chorus and jangly guitars balancing out the slightly naff song title. On Float Away they seem to have already mastered the closing time boozy waltz, and placing it halfway through the album confidently states that there are plenty more hooks left. But through all the stomping drums and plaintive keyboards, Wilson and Riley-s tight vocal harmonies remain the focal point, the occasional Australian inflection creeping in sweetly rather than becoming overbearing (read: Missy Higgins). Expect big things in the future, because All Through Winter certainly shows they can exceed expectations.
