about

"With the weather in Adelaide still dragging everyone down with it, it is surprisingly refreshing to listen to an album that is reminiscent of Summer, of love, fantastic dreams and headaches. Produced and recorded by Stock Exchange frontman Richard Sallis, Fantasyland is certainly a different take on his usual compositions. Whilst the sound of Stock Exchange is indie/rock, Sallis has definitely experimented with this solo album.

Differing away from the usual sounds that Stock Exchange go for, Fantasyland has summer ringing through the lyrics – it is catchy, it is beautiful and it’s vibrant. Salis’ voice holds within every song, especially in the beautifully haunting “Drunken Serenade”. What is especially brilliant about “Drunken Serenade” is that brings about a lot of visuals, like most songs should. Other sensory elements are needed to truly appreciate a song for what it’s worth, and the album incorporates that.

Another fascinating track that dons the Fantasyland album is a track called “Hypodermics”, which combines car crashes with music, and above all, love. I personally think Fantasyland is a big step up for Sallis and it has definitely taken him out of his usual comfort zone. His voice is very suited to this style of music. Slow, soothing and pleasant to listen to on a Sunday afternoon in the sun.

With Fantasyland expect something different, edgy and unique." - EZRA Magazine
