Josh Pyke’s song Middle of the Hill speaks of his recollections of growing up in Australia, most of it strikes a chord with me, and I’m sure most other Aussies from growing up there. Not only is the sound of the song tonally pleasing but the lyrics are are born of a wonderful dichotomy - on one hand the prose is flowing and temporal, yet on the other the words are so poetic and perfectly constructed that the writing of the songs is truly enigmatic.
The film clip is also put together really well, it’s some animated cutout country art that really gives the clip a warmth and tone.
