our sunday best: dustin tebbutt
Aussie song craftsman Dustin Tebbutt is new to me and although that isn’t necessarily a ringing endorsement it’s okay. Because once you listen to the music nothing else will matter anyway. His latest and forthcoming work will come to us in the form of the mini-album Home release. To date we have his study in all things tranquil and adulatory. Apt examples of such would be his Illuminate single and two splendid previous works: The Breach and Bones EPs.
Nevermind the Justin Vernon comparisons, for they will surely have their say. But where Mr. Vernon (Bon Iver) is mystical Dustin Tebbutt is straight forward, more linear and less variegated.
Dustin’s approach floats lyric melodies like spun out and silken emotion. His music packs too a well balanced temperance of beauty with a rippling tension just beneath. Altogether not dissimilar to the powerful formation of a burgeoning star viewed from a safe distance. After the jump I have also included both the audio and lyrics for the track Home.
And now you know why Dustin Tebbutt is our Sunday Best featured artist. The mini-album Home drops September 18th courtesy of Narvik Records. Peace.

Home – Lyrics
You laugh at dead ends
You’re the only one I know
You’re not fond of chances
Any more than letting go
I’m here to keep the ghosts away
So lie down in my arms
‘Cause we’re becoming home
Don’t fly out of my arms
Your ribs like branches
To keep the glowing close
You’re not fond of chances
Not the only one I know
You breathe in with me
I know you’re keeping face
Lost to the celling
You won’t hear me say
I’m here to keep the ghosts away…
As we’re becoming home
You fly out of my arms
