Description:
Brisbane has been keeping secrets. Mexico City’s first album was released in 2006 to critical acclaim and popular indifference, but with comparisons to Nick Cave and Bob Dylan accumulating, the foursome are unlikely to be kept hush hush for too much longer. Their second album, Brown Bird, features less country flair, more piano rock and even more of the freaky and geeky characters the boys detail so well. No swine flu jokes please. – JB
