Reviews for "Not Worth Waiting For"
"This is an extraordinary debut, an enigmatic folk-rock treasure." **** THE AGE
"An endearing debut" **** UNCUT
"An album of remarkable assurance and variety." THE WORD
"One of the most original albums by an Australian artist in quite a while...The assuredness in Ladder's delivery is well beyond his young years. This guy is a real talent." **** JMAG
"At times Ladder has the mournful mien of Smog, but you can also hear echoes of the deep-voiced heart on the sleeve folk of American Fred Neil." **** SYDNEY MORNING HERALD
"Not Worth Waiting For is a brave study of hope. Hope in the face of adversity, inevitable failure and the simple sad passing of time." **** MESS & NOISE
A lone bar but for a tall jack and a clap-a-long sound guy sounds like the beginnings of a Tim Rogers song to me....
Love you Ladder. Come home. We miss you. Gabe is right here and sends his love too and we both want to say thank you so much for being so rad and awesome and shit. See you tomorrow.... xxx
well jack, i'm gonna miss your silhouette round town--got used to seeing you around. it goes without saying that you're a man of wealth and taste. hope the rest of your travels are as incredible as new york, hopefully way more so. get a hold of my pal pat in tokyo(!)
Fondness be with you across the shores, Fine Fellow of Ladders. The song on which you sung came up a treat. Remember, when in Billyburg only a fool walks by La Villita for a $2.75 egg and cheese sandwich. (Grand between 1st and Bedford) Be well, and faretheewell for now... x
oh you're at the living room tonight... good times...
jonathan's in new york - he has the hard drive with your videos... so this is just a sneak peak. When he gets back in a couple of weeks we'll have the others up too.
You're show yesterday was the best show I've ever seen EVER! Can't wait for the next one* Thanks for making your music & being an amazing person- Super girl happy I met you~ Beagle Beagle
Hello friend, hope NY is treating you with reverence. Have you eaten anything interesting? I'll tell one or two friends there to come to your next gig. Which would you recommend?
