VIBRANT INDUSTRY EMERGES FROM AUSTRALIA'S SHADOW
SIX ACTS TO WATCH: DIMMER
Label: Columbia/Sony. Publisher: Mushroom Music publishing.
A classy intelligent lounge-pop single, Evolution, provides a taster for an album due for release in February of next year from Dimmer, the pseudonym of Shayne Carter, former frontman of local Eighties act Straitjacket Fits. Delivered in falsetto vocal, Evolution casts light on Carter's immense songsmith skills. Carter also directed the single's Vegas-style video.
