I'll make no bones about it, Craig Hallsworth is a songwriting genius in my book. From his work in the Bamboos back in the 80's to the Healers, Outstation, <a title="The Slow Beings" href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/the-slow-beings/" target="_blank">The Slow Beings</a> and to his current <a title="Tangled Star" href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/tangled-star/">Tangled Star</a> project, Hallsworth has continued to craft brilliant rock and pop music. This week's feature sees us dig back to the epic title track of Tangled Star's 2007 mini-album <em>It's Now or Later</em>. Whilst it may sound trite there is something innately Australian about this song as it weaves and winds it's way across it' s more than seven minute terrain. <em>It’s Now or Later</em> charts a journey across once familiar land yet through its exultant shifts and wandering detours manages to make everything feel new again. Hallsworth manages to takes known rock tropes and gently twist them into his own shapes. Along with this comes his wonderful turn of phrase that infuses the music with curling narratives and takes the song to another level again.
