About Me



These songs are from where we live.
Out that way is where the streetlights fade. Among the shadows, radios, we obey.

2008 EP “Symbolic Bicycles”

Reviewed by Phil Catley

Posted 11 December 2008 at www.musicsa.com.au

“Symbolic Bicycles” is a 7 track EP following on from The Art Therapists 3 previous releases. It is a collection of beautiful, at times haunting acoustic melodies. Hand drawn sketches adorn the buff re-cycled paper CD cover. There is no plastic exterior, and a duck-egg blue CD with a tiny ballerina waits within. Let me play the CD, close my eyes and enter the world of Tom West and The Art Therapists. Let me tell you what I see... It is music to listen to, music to think to, and music to reflect upon the beauty surrounding you.
