Ancient Australian bands currently setting vinyl speculators ablaze are crop-haired boogie-monster thug-visionaries like Coloured Balls, Aztecs and the mighty Buffalo.
But Tully were Sydney psychedelic jazz-folkies, given to third-eye dilating keyboard drones and sublime incantations to Krishna.
Their final 1972 album is reverentially re-released here with extra tracks. Occasional moments of soft rock blandness aside, Loving Is Hard operates in a rarified zone of velvet glove intensity and imminent transcendence, Shayna Stewart’s diamond but delicate vocal slicing through the implausibly poised seven minute baroque acid-folk epic, Ice.
