  3. EPISODE 3

    E3 | What Can I Do If The Fire Goes Out?

    From anxiety into desperation we come to Track 2 - ‘What Can I Do If The Fire Goes Out?’. We explore what keeps our protagonist’s fire burning - is it the will to pleasure, meaning or power? Uncertain if the answer is to be found in Freud, Frankl or Nietzsche, this intensely yearning song also sees him ask God what he's to do to keep this fire burning.  No Tone Unturned is a docu-podcast series that takes Australian music seriously.

  6. EPISODE 6

    E6 | Do Not Let Your Spirit Wane

    In the paradisal dreamscape of ‘Do Not Let Your Spirit Wane’, there is everything one could ever want: the perfect love, the perfect kid, the perfect house…yet something sinister lurks beneath the surface.

  7. EPISODE 7

    E7 | Go Farther In Lightness

    The title track, ‘Go Farther in Lightness’, brings us to the brink of the album’s halfway mark. Having now explored the hardships of the record’s first half, this song is the calm before the storm - one that sees him return to a sacred place, only to find the same feelings of alienation there that he’s been running from over the past 6 songs.

  8. EPISODE 8

    E8 | Achilles Come Down - Part 1

    It's the song you’ll all been waiting for, the climax, the dangling on the precipice of mortality: ‘Achilles Come Down’. In Part 1 of this epic, we analyse the build up to the big clash. We ask and answer why he’s up there in the first place, who the voices are that want him to get down, the significance of the ancient Greek Achilles, and the elusive French sample that sounds a little like Camus. Of course, we can’t leave out the song’s unlikely virality and the connection to the best-selling The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller.  The number for lifeline is 13 11 14 (Australia only).
