Anthony Rea Music

Separation Street - Anthony Rea

Two years in the making, Separation Street features songs ranging from the country blues of 'Your String' to the 60's swamp rock of 'Different Kind of Blue'; and from acoustic folk to power pop. Whatever the style, Anthony's lyrics are honest and infused with a knowing humour.

Recording the album in his home studio, Anthony enlisted the help of former Spacecake band mates Mark Hendriks (bass and vocals) and Jamie Dickson (drums). Bursting with acoustic and electric guitars, Separation Street features hand-crafted tones created using a blend of vintage and modern equipment. Vocal harmony also plays a big part with additional backing vocals contributed by Mark and the wonderfully talented Emma O'Brien.

Separation Street has been recorded over a two year period in Anthony's homestudio in Brunswick but the groundwork for the album, writing the songs and working out the arrangements, has been an ongoing process over the past decade. The songs are a mixture of old and new - whilst some had been extensively road tested, a couple had never been played as a band prior to recording. "I was thinking about all of the songs on the album, and trying to work out if there's a common thread tying them together. If I had to pull out one thing, I'd say that most of the songs are travelling songs - if not literally then metaphorically. There's a lot of getting from A to B, whether that be by car, boat, plane or somehow emotionally". The album features former band-mates, Mark Hendriks on bass and Jamie Dickson on drums on most tracks. Willie Corbett played drums on 'Monster'. Most of the guitars were played by Anthony with the exception of the Rickenbacker on 'Unaustralian' played by Christian O'Halloran. Backing vocals were sung by Anthony, Mark and Emma O'Brien. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
