“Plough Through the Rust” is Meanjin/Brisbane group Scrabbled’s follow up to their excellent debut ‘Welcome to Pig City’ (Virtual Cool CS 2014).
The DIY ramshackle energy we know and love from the group is present and familiar, as is the dry wit and authenticity (a word I’m nervous in using, but if the shoe fits), however Plough Through the Rust often sees the group’s songwriting taking a more introspective and personal path. Whereas Pig City was sonically expansive (and three songs here are drawn from those sessions), Rust often draws things closer, finding the charm within the scaled back honesty and rawness.

"Like Velvet Underground if they had been subject to the unrelenting heat, everyday abuse and suburban sprawl of heartland Australia." - Everett True.
