The Bon Scotts: Modern Capitalism Gets Things Done

Modern Capitalism Gets Things Done is The Bon Scotts’ latest album. The Melbourne band are no strangers to the folk scene with this being their third album.
The album comes in waves of really catchy and upbeat tunes, that you can’t help but tap your feet along to, and lulls that could send you off to the land of nod, in the good non-boring kind of way. Track one, ‘Limerence’ starts off a little slow, but really picks up with feel good vocals and complex instrumentals. ‘The Weekend Bends’ has a Vance Joy vibe about it; it’s perfectly happy and uplifting and one of my favourites on the album. ‘Fifty Five’ and ‘Your Life With Other Boys’ are soft and gentle with not that much rhythm, but the lyrics and vocals more than make up for it. ‘Somewhere’ was the first single release from the album and you can tell why they chose it. It’s a beautiful and whimsical little song that you just can’t help but connect with, you know, on a nice human level. It feels as though this album will be the soundtrack to many great adventures this summer.
Generally speaking, the album is a good listen. It dips in and out of slow tracks to rhythmical dance alongs, which gives a nice variety throughout. If you love your folk, then you’ll really dig Modern Capitalism Gets Things Done.
