Don’t buy this: it’s not a single, it’s a marketing concept. ‘Australia’ itself is great: a joyous burst of quirky indiepop enhanced by vibraphones and subtle banjo. But the various formats are filled out with session versions (a pretty ‘Saint Simon’ and a couple of unremarkable others) and one 7” is a shameless attempt to cross promote other label artists with two unworthy covers. I was only surprised Jamie Oliver wasn’t advertising it. Don’t buy this (but do buy the album).
