Tomorrow will be like today

Rand And Holland is the golden pop vehicle of a longstanding member of Sydney's experimental music scene, Brett Thompson. Not unlike label-mates and fellow travelers Sun (Thompson works with Chris Townend and Scott Horscroft at Bigjesusburger Studios), Rand and Holland manage to produce maximum emotional impact by the simplest and most direct means. Here every sound has integral purpose and meaning, drawing the listener into an intimate and uniquely personal world. Emotions are laid bare with an honesty and clarity rarely seen in pop music today. A stunning debut and one for the ages. Built around the voice of Brett Thompson Rand And Holland love the spaces as much as they love the sounds. This sparse album recalls the moods of Mercury Rev, Yo La Tengo and Smog. Its songs manage to find the balance between epic and intimate, carried by a deeply resonant vocal and direct, unaffected lyricism. "Tomorrow Will Be Like Today" was produced by both Brett Thompson and Sun's Chris Townend. Guest musicians include Townend, Oren Ambarchi and Scott Horscroft.
