A FEW NOTES ABOUT THE BAND AND THIS ALBUM
- The Cannanes have a new CD Trouble seemed so far away which is probably the best thing they have ever done. A collaboration with New York audio genius Stephen Hermann aka Explosion Robinson, the CD was recorded, mixed and mastered in Manhattan and Sydney
"A dream pop manifesto but has anyone ever woken up from a dream as gorgeous as You Name It" Greil Marcus Salon 18/12/0
- The songs are reflections on real life - on why living in Sydney is better than New York, on why weddings can be bad news, on old and new friends and playing in bands. These are the days of your life. The music is sublime
They say everyone owns at least one Cannanes record- It's time to make it two
"Treehouses. Moonlight hikes on the sand dunes. Making instant pudding. The Cannanes whisper softly, transporting the listener to meditative places. Take the feedback out of My Bloody Valentine and add the lazy, loping loops,and stutter stops of Ex-Rob and you've got a sense of the album." Tokion magazine August 2002
- Cannanes will be doing a series of Australian launches from the end of October 2002
"Trouble Seemed So Far Away, a collaboration with Sukpatch beatsmith and NYC producer Explosion Robinson, finds the Cannanes on a mellow path onward. Matching loops and shimmering effects to the band's dulcet tones, Mr. Robinson layers subtle filaments of keyboard and vocals atmospherics on reflective numbers like "This Is the Song" and "It's Hopeless." Gibson has a swell knack for interpreting vocal nuance" Solvej Schou: CMJ New Music Report Issue: 763 - 20/5/02
