Music - it's a worldwide thing. Name a genre and you'll find bands on any and every continent in this planet. Probably on a passing spaceship too. Anthony Rochester doesn't have a spaceship - or at least I don't think he does anyway - but he does have an album called "Music For In The Spaceship".
First things first, this is not prog rock, thankfully. Mention a spaceship and I immediately think of prog rock. This album is actually an example of Australian indie pop. Indie pop of the mellowest sort too. Mellow in a good way though as it is actually quite groovy. Groovy because it actually has a retro feel to it that takes it further back in time than Belle & Sebastian. As would be expected of indie pop, the lyrics reflect life's trivialities in a very literal fashion. I suppose that is part of this album's charm. It never really seems to try very hard to get your attention but there is plenty of - positively unfashionable these days - melody in evidence. On the downside, the placid, laidback approach to vocals that Anthony Rochester uses (or rather overuses) does tend to irritate over the length of the album.
If I had to pick a favourite song, then it would be hard to deny the melancholic appeal of "If Only She'd Mind Read He'd Won't Have To Tell Her By Himself".
