Post Description

It's always refreshing when someone breathes new life into an old genre, and that is exactly what young Sydney-based folkie Jack Carty has done on his sensational sophomore album Break Your Own Heart. 
It marks him as a man to watch. Carty works in a realm we once called "bedsit folk", a charming nonsense that implied noble poverty, scant success, malnutrition and existential angst.
He does it with plenty of sincerity but with a refreshing lack of the didactic earnestness that once defined such music. You'll not be advised to say Hello in There, as you would by John Prine, or to stop whingeing about how lonely you are on The Streets of London, by Ralph McTell. No, the songs here are as ironic as the title.
