Karma County's 'Headland' recaps a decade

Michael, Brendan and Stu giving you their best ‘Blue Steel’Since way, way back in 1995 Karma County have been making some of the best and most original music in Australia.

Arriving on stage in those early days with just a snare drum, acoustic guitar and double bass, they foreshadowed the acoustic roots movement that has become an essential element of contemporary music. 

Since those small beginnings they have grooved their way into the hearts and minds of discerning fans and critics, delivering five outstanding and timeless albums, the last of which, 2004’s Pacifico was released by Littoral Records (buy it here on iTunes Store).

Now Karma County have released a 2-disc retrospective collection, Headland. It’s  a must-have, with 36 tracks across 2 discs containing songs from all 5 albums, including 2000 ARIA winner Into The Land Of Promise. 

It also debuts previously unreleased tracks and live performances - remixed, revisited, remastered. Stand outs are the two new tracks; the new original The Feeling and a breezy cover of Yazoo’s Only You.

You owe it to yourself, you owe it to Australian music. Go check it out on the Vitamin store, where you can preview tracks and get your own copy the old-fashioned way - in the mail, on a couple of CDs.
