Celebrated Australian musician, Mick Harvey returns with his enthralling new album, 'two of diamonds'. Encouraged by the very positive critical acclaim and the audience reaction to the live shows for his 2005 LP 'one man's treasure', Harvey - an internationally renowned arranger, producer, multi instrumentalist, film soundtrack composer and co-founder of the birthday party and nick cave and the bad seeds - has created a further wonderful collection of classic songs. This time Harvey is accompanied by his solo band, featuring Rosie Westbrook (double bass) and fellow bad seeds' James Johnston (organ and guitar) and Thomas Wydler (drums). Guest musicians on two tracks also include Rob Ellis from P.J. Harvey's band (piano/drums), and Julitha Ryan (piano) from Melbourne instrumental band silver ray.
