Bill Majoros of Hamilton one-man band The Foreign Films has put up Side 3 of his work-in-progress project, the double album The Record Collector, after kicking thins off with Side 2 last year. Once again aided by Kori Pop he has build carefully constructed pocket pop symphonies, a mix of The Beautiful South and the Beach Boys, with some glam rock licks thrown in.
Majoros is firing on all cyulinders during Empire Of The Night and goes pastoral Girl By The River (imagine Tame Impala trying to channel Nick Drake). It is only fitting that he saved the most ambitious track to end Side 3. Co-written with Pop, who sings lead, the country-rocker A Foolish Symphony (Wait) with its lush strings, a snippet of horns and slide guitar is a tough song to follow. That will be revealed when Side 4 sees the light of day, but Majoros might decide to unveil Side 1 first.
The Record Collector will eventually be released a double vinyl album. Buy (pay-what-you want) Side 3 from his website.
