Carried In Mind: Limited Edition 2CD Set

Limited Edition 2CD Set!

An intensely curious and canny musician, Jeff Lang has never been one to accept formulas. Renowned for mastery of numerous fret boards, the Melbourne musician’s skill can equally be discovered in an exquisite ability to evoke the intricacies of the most intimate scenarios, transforming the parochial into the profound. With 15 studio albums now under his belt, certain threads run more and more clearly through his work. An adeptness for conjuring a sense of time and place. Love lost, love found, and a gentle reverence for both situations. Deception, deceit, and danger; murder most foul. Promises kept, and promises broken. Songs arise from dreams, urban legends, terrible truths, and the depths of imagination. Here is a man who thinks – and feels – deeply. All the while, he maintains a wicked sense of humour, often finding entertainment in the darkest moments.

His new album `Carried In Mind` is no exception. As with most of Lang’s collection, it was recorded live in the studio, with long time musical partners in crime Grant Cummerford (bass) and Danny McKenna (drums). Each protagonist draws us into their world, leaving us wondering what will happen when the song ends, and what might have transpired just before. The trademark qualities of Jeff Lang’s playing resonate stronger than ever, displaying not only a guitarist of gob-smacking talent, but a songwriter of the highest order.
