Our Take

The Go-Betweens' "16 Lovers Lane" oozes with the kind of melodrama that only a bunch of Australians could muster. From the wistful crooning of Robert Forster to the whimsical guitar work of Grant McLennan, this album feels like a bittersweet love letter from across the globe.

Tracks like "Streets of Your Town" and "Love Goes On!" transport you to a dreamy alternate reality where love is the only currency that matters. The nostalgic, jangly guitars paired with heartfelt lyrics make for a truly enchanting listening experience.

But don't be fooled by the romantic facade, there's a darker undercurrent running through this album. Songs like "I'm All Right" and "Was There Anything I Could Do?" reveal the cracks in the facade of love, showing that even the most harmonious relationships have their rough patches.

Overall, "16 Lovers Lane" is a masterclass in indie-pop songwriting. It's catchy, poignant, and just a little bit off-kilter - much like the titular lovers themselves. If you're in the mood for a bit of romance, a touch of heartbreak, and a whole lot of charm, this album is definitely worth a listen. So grab a glass of wine, light some candles, and let the Go-Betweens serenade you into a haze of lovelorn bliss.
