Ghost Nation, the 1989 album from Melbourne's Hunters & Collectors, followed What's a Few Men? on Mushroom and carried on the turn the band had taken with Human Frailty: away from the clanging, krautrock-schooled tribal post-punk of their early days and toward big, burnished, anthemic pub rock. Mark Seymour sings and writes with his heart hanging out, John Archer and Doug Falconer keep the bottom heavy, the horns of Jack Howard, Jeremy Smith and Michael Waters blow warm color through the songs, and Barry Palmer, in on lead guitar since 1988, adds the bite.
"When the River Runs Dry" is the big one, among their best-charting singles, a swelling ache of a song. Cut came next.
