Originally seeing the light of day as a CD-only release in 1994, Shelf-Life was the debut long-player from the excellent Small World Experience, a Brisbane outfit virtually unknown north of the equator. Of course, a bevy of fans prevailed and while the band released a small brace of releases throughout the ’90s, Shelf-Life seemed the most unobtainable.
But in 2016, Siltbreeze re-released this master work on vinyl for the 1st time. 'Shelf-Life' exudes a wry, sardonic air & follows perfectly the Brisbane lineage set forth by the Saints, Go-Betweens, The Apartments & even Laughing Clowns. The band was recently featured in the 'Digging Into Indie Pop Cut's' Bandcamp feature penned by Jon Dale.
