About
“I don’t come here with solutions/I come to you with idea,” sings The Smith Street Band vocalist/guitarist Wil Wagner on album opener “A Conversation With Billy Bragg About the Purpose of Art.” In many ways it’s a statement of intent, an indication that the life-affirming punk-rock sing-alongs contained on the Melbourne band’s sixth album will, in the tradition of their previous studio record, be accompanied by Wagner’s thoughtful, at times self-eviscerating lyric. Part therapy session, part self-flagellation, on “Elvis” he’s “an alien”; on “Black T-Shirt” he’s “poison in a black T-shirt”; on “Nightmare” he’s “scared of everything”; and on “Everyone Is Lying to You for Money” he’s been prescribed Lexapro because it will “help with the mania.” .
