Having taken their name from a line in Hooray For Hollywood - inspired by the song's jarring use in Robert Altman's Philip Marlowe detective movie The Long Goodbye - there is an aptly cinematic quality to Any Young Mechanic's music. With intricate scenes, enthralling narratives and unique characters cropping up across the lyrics, and a kaleidoscopic yet coherently interwoven spectrum of moods and emotions stretching through the music, the Adelaide five-piece bring a fresh language to folk music's natural propensity to spin a good yarn. So rather than offering borrowed references illuminated by the cosy flickers of campfire flames, on their debut album The Modern Shoe Is Ruining The Foot, the Australian band's urgent songs conjure up vivid, widescreen vistas that blend the genre's enduring charms with a musical dexterity and sharp vision reaching beyond folk's usual corners.
