Jae Laffer review for The Australian

Wide open, inside I don't let you hide But you don't, don't wanna recognise

I first came across Jae Laffer though his more well known band The Panics. Their songs that brought up images of Australia and tales of love and loss grabbed me upon first listen and became the soundtrack of my summer of 2012/13. This year, Jae has released a solo album of new tracks and continues the tradition of The Panics' imagery, but in his own softer and more jangly ways. His voice lends itself to acoustic folk/pop and the album doesn't disappoint in that department! The swagger and sway in not just his voice, but also his guitar, seems to grab something inside me and takes me to places where fond memories are held. Whether that be the memory of a loved one, a time, destination or even the journey to get there (which can be just as important!), it just seems to speak to me. I've chosen this song as a standout as it is not only a good example of his songwriting, but also as it's the only video from it he's released ;) Another standout track is "Don't Make Me Wait". If you're a fan of Paul Kelly, Australian folk or Alt-Country, you can't go past this.

such a great voice
