Dark Horses Tunnel at The End of The Light (Featured on The Breakfast Spread)
Tex Perkins is one of Australia's great musical legends. His work with Beasts Of Bourbon and The Cruel Sea alone has left an unforgettable mark on the Australian music scene. However, although it is less hailed, his work with The Dark Horses is no less amazing. It may be more based on mood and soundscapes but there is a beauty to this work which is undeniable. Tunnel At The End Of The Light is the fifth album under the Dark Horses moniker and probably the best since 2003's Sweet Nothing. Opening track, Oh Lucky Me sets the tone for the rest of the album. That continues with All Is Quiet and They Shoot Horses, Don't They? However for me, the centrepiece of the album is the eight minute tune Slide On By. A great epic that separates it from the good Dark Horses albums of recent years and closer to the excellent ones in the early 2000's. On a whole, moody but beautiful. A perfect late night album.
