Melbourne, Australia
Today i woke up looking like I'd eaten a golfball. I can hardly talk, and I'm eating through a straw. It's a periapical abcess apparently, I'm being treated with anti-biotics, panadeine forte and valium. Tomorrow I see the dentist for some good old fashioned pus draining.

My only friend is the computer. It's the only one that hasn't laughed at me today. So with a brain full of cottonwool, I've been trying to work through the massive Aussie music backlog we've got here at SCLUB. So what does self-pitying, codeine affected junkie listen to? Easy. Princess One Point Five.

The second solo album from melbournite babe Sarah-Jane Wentzki, 'The Truth' came out in May. Its the follow up to her 2005 album 'At Long Last', which turned a lot of heads. The music is part ambient/electro and all emotion*. It's multi-layered with keys, strings, glock and atmospheric samples. The sound is both poignant and alluring, however it was the melancholic vocals which made me briefly forget the baby feotus growing on my face.

Here's 2 songs from the new album, and one from the old. So raid granny's medicine cabinet then have a listen..
