Rachael Dunn, Space Refugee. Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

It is to how we are seen to deal with adversity that sets us apart from the perception others may have, and the surprise reality to which we hold ourselves to account; when the chips are down, when we feel as though there is nothing to do but hide in our shell till the worst is over, all that matters is that we can, or even appear to be able to, hold our head up high and say I am not cowed by the system, I am a Space Refugee with battles fought and won behind me.

Rachael Dunn, Placing Stars. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Like the good old 45 R.P.M single, the bastion of pop charts past, there are times when an E.P. can leave you trustingly wanting more.  You love them; they speak to you in the same way that a novella or well-written Ernest Hemmingway short story can grab your attention for a while but you just cannot help knowing that a little more would send you over the edge into some sort of exquisite dream. Like the child only being allowed one small sweet lest the sugar content send them going into a crazy spiral of juvenile energy rush, the listener has to limit themselves to knowing what has been put out is enough, even if it is with a shrug of musical despondency.
