Recorded in 2002, 'The Revelators' is dominated by immaculately crafted, soulfully rendered original songs by Camilleri and his long-standing writing partner Nick Smith. They stand beside a brooding true by Creighton and heartfelt nods to Ray Charles, Doug Sahm and Ima Thomas.
'This is the first record we've made as a band' Camilleri says. 'It's our first really good record of what we are and where we can progress to. To me, this sounds like the start of something'
From the breezy pop of 'For Your Love' to the ominous fog of 'Missing You' to the frenzied jive of "Hell To Pay', this album rides the fine line between The Revelators' hair-raising live spontaneity and the impeccable studio craft that comes with unfold experience.
'We only give a song maybe 20 minutes in the real world', says Camilleri. 'When you've got four people ready to play and it doesn't cut it in 20 minutes, forget it. You ain't gonna be working on it, there's always another song around the corner. These are the ones that cut it.'
