Our wonderkid, Mr. Angus Stone (aka “Lady Of The Sunshine” or “He of the ever-morphing facial hair”) has just scored some awesome praise for his solo album nationwide.

My favourite quote of all comes from the Newcastle Herald claiming that “C&C Music Factory had ‘Things That Make You Go, Mmm’, and the first album from Angus Stone’s side project – Lady Of The Sunshine – has songs that make you go ‘Ahhh’.”

Smoking Gun in my honest opinion is a dang fine listen. It’s a great journey through twee folky acoustic bliss delving into some serious blues grunt guitar licks.  Listen to White Rose Parade here, listen to more tracks on his myspace – www.myspace.com/ladyofthesunshine

And just to top off how cool this album is (even though it’s hard to go past C&C Music Factory), it was all recorded in an old water tank. I’m sure it looked just like one of these:
