Plight: The Romance of Travel
By Peter Dent
Plight sounds like it could have been recorded by Julian Lennon or The Rembrants, but it was recorded by a Kiwi fella in Takapuna, eh? As melodic and cohesive as any full band effort, 'The Romance of Travel' was written and performed almost entirely by Marc Beasley. Impressive indeed. For having been recorded and mastered in a bedroom, the production is remarkable. Plight covers retro rock to country rock with ease, all under the 'semi-alternative' pop banner. All 12 tracks here are strong, high-energy numbers with great guitaring and the aforementioned Lennon-ish quality to the vocals. Pretty classy.
