‘The Mango Balloon Volume 2’ SMH Review
Julian Curwin ‘The Mango Balloon Volume 2’
(Romero/Newmarket)
Review in The Sydney Morning Herald (Metro), 7th December 2012 by John Shand – 4 stars
The clown’s mask is inverted more often, and as a consequence Julian Curwin’s Mango Balloon project flies even higher on this second album. Singer Brian Campeau joins on four tracks, including the stunningly fragile and stark Dancing On My Own Grave and the bewitching Sleepwalker. Elsewhere, Curwin’s love of juxtaposing the eerie and the dramatic with the plain goofy is hard at work. Attractive melodies materialise and dematerialise, and sounds flutter and float in the guitarist-composer’s delightfully genre-free approach. His sextet is a little chamber orchestra capable of realising a breadth of sonic options with precision, humour, passion and understatement. Sydney would be a duller place without Julian Curwin.
The Mango Balloon single and video
The lead single from The Mango Balloon, Volume 2 is ‘Dancing On My Own Grave’. Featuring Julian Curwin on electric guitar, Jess Ciampa on vibes, and the album’s special guest Brian Campeau on vocals and acoustic guitar.
The song also has a brand new video, directed by Reanne Potter – watch it now.
The album is out through Romero Records, and will be launched November 10 at Venue 505.

‘Shadows & Fog’ SMH Review
The Tango Saloon ‘Shadows & Fog’ (Romero/Newmarket)
Review in The Sydney Morning Herald, 18th May 2012 by John Shand
The brilliant Deadwood aside, westerns have been sadly out of favour on our TV screens, but not on our sound systems. The latest round-up from The Tango Saloon blurs genres even further than before, with a distinct film-noir element now darkening the tumbleweeds and showdowns. Eeriness and sophisticated humour become as entangled as heatwaves and sand in a lonely desert. Julian Curwin can carve a third notch in his guitar for another victory over the evil forces of musical predictability. His scowling gang includes Marcello Maio (keyboards), Mark Harris (bass), Danny Heifetz (drums) and Jess Ciampa (percussion). They launch it tonight at the Factory Theatre with Romero stablemates Darth Vegas.
Album Launch
The Tango Saloon will launch ‘Shadows & Fog’ at the Factory Floor (105 Victoria Rd Marrickville) on April 14, supported by Miss Little and Brian Campeau. More details here.
