Karaoke by Origami
This album follows on from Origami's "The Blues of Joy" which showed their willingness to take on contemporary songs that fit their musical approach - this time though, the selection is an all Australian one. Reinterpreting the songs of Gotye, Nick Cave, Colin Hay, INXS, Silverchair, The Reels, Hello Satellites and The Parrots, the focus has been to highlight the compositional side of these tunes, rather than the lyrical content, though at times that has also informed the arrangements.

"Fat Rain" is the rain that comes on a hot sultry afternoon, those large splotches that fall singularly from the sky, splattering in the gravel and exploding on windscreens...
Founded by Adam Simmons, Fat Rain's focus is on improvised and jazz music but basically dedicated to providing engaging music, believing good art is not simply entertaining but should leave an impression!
