Many would say that releasing three live albums in eight years is two too many. But Australia’s Teskey Brothers understand, that as impressive as they are in the more controlled studio environment, the stage is where they sparkle.
Still, it’s impossible to ignore that out of the ten tracks from Live at the Hammersmith Apollo, out July 11, six are repeated from 2022s ‘The Winding Way,’ their previous set. Regardless, the concert format allows singer Sam and guitarist/brother Josh room to elaborate and expand on the original recordings. Two of which—a 14 minute show-stopping “What Will Be” and 12 minutes of “Paint My Heart” (the latter from 2019s ‘Run Home Slow’)—double the time of their more sedate album versions.
