Havilah is brimful of the intensity, innovation and integrity that have made The Drones one of Australian rock's most critically acclaimed acts. Replete with contrast, Havilah juxtaposes bombast with beauty, roaring aggression and violent guitars with sublime melancholy lyricism. Lead singer Gareth Liddiard's incendiary voice lights up the angular poetry of their songs, as he ruminates on the nature of (in no particular order), the moon (“Penumbra”), divorce (“The Drifting Housewife”), and the acquisition of godlike power and the cargo cultism of John Frum (“I Am the Supercargo”).
