Fact #103510

MT Warning, a collaboration between Australian singer-songwriter Mikey Bee and film-maker Taylor Steel, has delivered a thoughtful concept album as its debut. Notionally, the songs illustrate one man's journey through life, but they can just as easily be enjoyed as intelligent rock whose brooding, introspective quality elevates this duo above the pack. Forward Miles, with its haunting vocal chant and optimistic lyric, is beautifully constructed and switches moods from contemplative to triumphant via transitions as natural as real-life mood swings. Melodic, life-affirming and emotionally stirring, this is a damn fine start to, hopefully, a very long career.
