Black Across The Field

Thorne Lucie

Black Across The Field is the exceptional new album from Lucie Thorne, who has earned her place as one of the most striking lyricists and voices of the recent indie rock and roots scenes. Brimming with her intricate guitar work, Black Across The Field combines Thorne’s spacious, gritty rock n roll with startlingly original dark-folk. Black Across The Field was recorded during the winter and spring of 2008. After demo-ing many of the songs at home, Lucie was introduced to legendary drummer Hamish Stuart, and that’s when things started to shift. Stuart and Thorne then joined forces with bass player Dave Symes (Sarah Blasko, Missy Higgins, Sleepy Jackson) and with the three of them deciding to co-produce the album, the chemistry of Black Across The Field was born.

Review

Largely unknown but highly talented Lucie Thorne was raised in Tassie, lived in Melbourne for a time and now calls the tiny hamlet of Bimbaya in the Bega Valley (NSW) home. This new album, recorded at her home studio, will hopefully see her find the larger audience she deserves.

This is one of the finest female vocal albums released by an Australian in the last few years. Her beautiful breathy vocals occasionally stretch out on the rockier songs. The whole album – from her band, to production, to the songs – is first-rate. You won’t find it on the radio, but you should make the effort to seek this fine album out.
