Bendigo’s Trevor Petrie shines on his solo album, Live at Mouse Mountain

Words by Alex Lynch

Bringing well over a decade of experience to the table.

Regional Victoria’s own Trevor Petrie has been busy with the release of his latest album – Trevor Petrie Live at Mouse Mountain, recorded late last year at the aforementioned Mouse Mountain studios in Kyabram, Victoria.

Bringing well over a decade of experience to the table, Trevor’s newest album presents the listener with sombre and heart felt sounds that will keep draw you to connect to the story of the various songs through out the album. This is where Trevor shines, his ability to convey a story across to his audience.

Not afraid to explore the sadder stories of his experiences in life, ‘Lion in the closet’ immediately expresses a distinctive dark theme that, along with nice melodies and a clean sound will keep the listener invested in the story. The story doesn’t stop there, follow up track ‘Devil on my shoulder’ maintains the tempo of the album and continues to showcase clean vocals and solid song writing.

Live at Mouse Mountain is very much an album focused on storytelling, with an emphasis on thought and idea conflict with the added element of a live performance in an intimate setting, which brings additional conveyed emotion and further depth to the album.

Live at Mouse Mountain is out now.
