It’s that time of the year again when tractorgirl takes a trip to the beach with her family. We always have plenty of music in the car for the long drive. I thought I’d share some of special tracks that have caught my ear over the last year or so, chosen for their sounds (and sometimes for their lyrics – although not always….).

Twerps is another group from Melbourne that I love for their jangly guitar. This one’s a bit bouncier than some of their other songs, and their lyrics are pretty funny if you’ve ever lived in the city as a misguided youth.

(Accompanying images and objects are chosen from my Pinterest boards.)
