Flop Eared Mule A Country Music Death Beast and Worker in the Dylan Industrial Complex | Sydney, Australia | Est. 2004

Gurrumul from Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu has been getting quite the buzz in the last few months and I finally got the CD from the label, Skinnyfish and it is indeed as beautifully astonihsing as they say. He sings in various languages of the Yolŋu Matha accompanied and produced by Michael Hohner (who also owns the label) who gives just the right amount of musical support, but of course it is the soul deep voice that gets everyone excited. The harmonies throughout are also something special.

Apart from the music itself, I'm very impressed with what Skinnyfish has done to promote it and make getting it simple. Easy to use multimedia links at the label page, easy online payment options, his own YouTube channel and the traditional mark of care, a very beautifully put together CD digipak with booklet (including the lyrics and English translations.) Lotsa much bigger labels could learn from it.

Flop Eared Mule give Gurrumul a "strong buy" rating.
