A humanity-reminding suite of miracle moments, Someone Like Me unites a
geographically unbound cast of real people in pursuit of a meaningful
connection. Taping their lived experience in economic studios in quiet English
counties, Pacific Northwest woodland retreats and the big city bustle of Sydney
and Los Angeles, these kindred spirits rendered sheer beauty in the process.
Custom pressed folk songs of love, loss and the lord saviour. 

Illuminating minor works from seasoned players such as former Syndicate Of Sound
chart-topper Sharkey and late-era Canned Heat lynchpin James Thornbury, the
collection simultaneously honours the fleeting amateurism of hobby musicians.
With their one shot at tangible vinyl, freshman Lynne Ann Kingan realised her
loose bubblegum rocker on campus time, while U.S. Navy recruit Fred Potts cut
his unconditionally serene ballad remotely stationed on a Spanish naval base.
Spartan production continues to reign with Jon Betmead’s hair-raising
gospel, howling into infinite space, and Goldrust’s stripped back garden
hymn.

Throughout the hour-long reflection, faith has an intermittent yet revelatory
presence, most overtly with the divine choral soul of Seventh-day Adventist
quartet Remnant. More subtly, Gary Ramey and Jim Kennedy both turned to song in
their spiritual quests, offering their all to a universal power. An irrefutable
compilation cornerstone, the National Office For Black Catholics showcased
Charles Murphy’s lionhearted account of the Black experience at a 1971
concert. Five years earlier, high school seniors The Superwomen would use their
hauntingly angelic harmonies to address racial inequity with a breathless take
on ‘Lowlands’.

Reaching the furthest corners, Someone Like Me secures the inaugural licence of
three homespun masterpieces. Discovered by fluke in the digital haystacks of
Youtube and Soundcloud, Jim Huxley’s bedroom pop earworm melds peacefully
into Charlie Webster’s synthesized reverie. Meanwhile, Hollywood’s
John Agostino introduces us to the bizarre world of tax scam records, with the
artist only now learning that his tender psych-folk demos were leaked via a 1977
bootleg.

Compiled and lovingly restored by armchair digger Mikey Young (Eddy Current
Suppression Ring/The Green Child), Someone Like Me pays due service to seventeen
rarefied journals of truth and devotion. Adorned with visual artist Chris
Fallon’s figure and flora dream extractions, the uniting songbook is
further detailed by expansive track-by-track liner notes and a foreword from San
Franciscan poet Rod Roland.
