Ripe, Ben Lee's 2007 album, came out on Inertia and New West with John Alagía producing, and it finds the Sydney kid who started out at 14 in Noise Addict all grown up and gunning for pure pop. Lee had been making records under his own name since the band split in 1995, and had even played the lead in the film The Rage in Placid Lake.
The sound here is sunny, wide-eyed indie pop, hooks first and cynicism nowhere in sight. "Love Me Like the World Is Ending" sums up the mood: a big, grinning love song with the end of the world as its excuse to hold on tight.
