Xavier Rudd
Dark Shades of Blue
Universal

Xavier Rudd has stepped it up a notch on his new album.

Never one to shy away from the indigenous ties of Australia’s heritage, Rudd pushes the bounds beautifully on this album.

The fusing together of modern day roots and the Dream Time sounds brings a collected sound directly into the mainstream.

Rudd has found another element to his spiritual voice on this album, spreading his message wide and loud on this record.

Four stars
