There are two types of journey – into the world, and into the heart. Roots musician Adrian Kosky’s third album, The High Side of the Low End,
chronicles both.
The 11 songs on the album were recorded in Adrian’s home town of Daylesford in Victoria and was composed entirely on the dulcimer, with other instruments – acoustic and electric guitar, banjo, dobro, bass harmonica, blues harp, percussion and marimba – employed to embellish the mix.
As with his previous album, Adrian has collaborated with former Boom Crash Opera member and Sea Change composer Richard Pleasance. The result brings assured, uncluttered arrangements and the evident enjoyment of two highly skilled musicians comfortable playing together.
