Strum Review

We were going to fill this section with a whole bunch of stuff about our history but the following review sums things up nicely.

JUST STRUMMING ALONG

Susan Jarvis

The voices of Strum?s Timo Tolvanen, Rob Bunt and Jeff Flood flow seamlessly together to create a sound that is unique, compelling and exquisitely beautiful.
But when you stop to listen to the songs themselves, you realise that there?s more to Strum than just harmonies - they also write wonderful music.
It?s been three long years since Strum released a recording, and the band has been transformed by the addition of a third member, something that happened quite unexpectedly.
"Rob and I were playing with some ideas for a new album when Jeff Flood called us one day. He had some songs he wanted to play us, and was keen to play guitar on the album. We sat down and started singing together, and it became really obvious that Jeff should join the band. I think he was a bit surprised at how quickly it all happened, but it?s been a great move," Timo said.
Now Strum have finally released their first full-length album, the self-titled Strum. Superbly produced by Roger Corbett, it captures their style perfectly ? although that style is difficult to pigeonhole.
Strum can only be described as a very special album. The songs are diverse, beautifully written and full of perceptive observations about contemporary Australia ? its people, places and the issues we all face.
Strum has already released a "taster" for the album in the form of the first single, The Southerly. It?s a song which captures the cool breeze that springs up at the end of a long, hot day, and the taste of a cold beer after working hard in the sun.
"There?s a line in the song which says ?My back is black from a thousand flies?, which is based on something I saw once when I was labouring for my dad. I?ve never forgotten it," Timo said.
A large part of the album?s charm is its quirky take on life, nowhere more evident than on the next single, The Weatherman.
"I was watching the weather on TV one night, and the weatherman was practically apologising because it was going to rain at the weekend. It turned into a song about not shooting the messenger," Timo said.
The album is packed with superb songs, most of them written by Timo, with both Rob Bunt and Jeff Flood contributing. Rob wrote the gentle Times Of Our Lives about his parents, and the song makes you stop and think about what?s important in life.
The funky Dig Deeper is a reminder not to take people for granted, and to look beyond the surface, while Three Things, with its gospel-inspired feel, has a strong message - all you need in life is someone to love, something to do and something to look forward to. Timo made the lap steel used on the song himself.
Being A Cowboy has a wonderful campfire feel. The song is a story of unfulfilled dreams spanning three generations. And Welcome Back To The World has a biblical message ? it?s the tale of a prodigal son who is welcomed back despite his bad deeds.
The laid-back Narooma Sunrise is pure Strum ? it?s about feeling out of place where you are, and wanting to get back to where you belong.
The album concludes with a stunning acoustic version of the classic ALLMAN BROTHERS instrumental, Jessica, featuring Mitch Farmer on drums.
Each song on the album provides an insightful snapshot of modern life, treating it with intelligence, sensitivity and humour.
