Inpress: Left to Spare
by Clem Bastow
Inpress
Left To Spare is a chunk of thrilling, acoustic "chase sequence" music with a sound that falls somewhere between Bob Dylan's Hurricane period, Paul Kelly and Carole King. Hocking has smartly left her backing band sparely orchestrated, which lets her impressively impassioned vocals shine while the band carries her along with Godspeed. You'll just have to imagine the speeding thoroughbreds, though.
