“A human in the wilderness/Is a scary thing to be,” warns June Jones, opening her second album at the helm of Melbourne based folk rock Two Steps on the Water. That’s just over a year since the opening line of her previous LP: “I’m a little bit scared.” It’s a fear that never really goes away, but at least Jones and co. are now better prepared to take it on. With lush three-part harmony and a particularly-beautiful detour prior to its closing chorus, Two Steps On The Water continue to assert their place among the best Australian bands currently working in any capacity.

Band Members
June, Sienna, Jonathan, and Ellah

Lyrics like a tortured parody of Robert Foster and the Go-Betweens for the oncoming apocalypse. Yeah, they’re as good as the Go-Betweens, but absolutely nothing like them. Such a raw, emotional record. I love this band a great deal now after listening to this Favorite track  Thunderstorm for One.
