Closet Straights

Heavy pop troubadours Closet Straights (formerly known as Alex & the Shy Lashlies). Comprising of members of Loose Tooth, Bad Family and Pure Moods, this young, scrappy team of talented pop legends from Melbourne are consummately anchored by frontman Alex Lashlie’s affable vocals and easy- going compositions. Musically, Closet Straights cover a bit of ground, from the far out regions of The Velvet Underground’s Loaded era jangle-pop to the vast plains of true-country ramblers such as Sonny Smith and Cass McCombs. Nonetheless, this record is melded together in a nonchalant, warm fashion that ensures these songs swim around your head for a long time to come.
