2007 album from this Australian trio. Sun Dirt Water is an album born of time and distance. The geographic space between singer/songwriters Donna Simpson, Vikki Thorn and Josh Cunningham, and the long hiatus since their last studio triumph, Up All Night, created a kind of vacuum that these new songs could hardly wait to fill. The title track. 'Sun Dirt Water' is a worldly, seductive groove that meanders between styles with insouciant authority - slinky Jazz, elegant Country, smoky Blues - and effortlessly nails what Josh calls "our finest recorded moment to date. From the darkly evocative storytelling of Donna's 'Vermillion' and 'Sad Sailor Song' to Josh's upbeat Country spiritual, 'Eternity', this sense of liberation runs an exquisitely loose thread through The Waifs' fifth album.
