REVIEW Time Out

‘Rancho Notorious’
Pearl East End

...best of all is Graeme Miller’s video “Lonesome Way”. As the camera pans 360 degrees around urban streets, things seen (wooden railings, cars, a postbox, a church ) provoke snippets of country-and-western song: when the railings reappear, for instance, Miller sings, ‘Just mending fences that somehow got broken’. He starts walking while singing to a guitar strumming accompaniment ‘As I walk on my own’ Crummy surroundings, the solitude of the urban cowboy and the loneliness expressed in the song create a mood of surprising melancholy.
