In the case of debut albums (which is the case here) a band’s biography is almost irrelevant. After all, in the early days, how much of a story is there to tell? A band’s debut album is their story... and albums speak for themselves.
This is all just about pressing Play and finding out for yourself who Sons of Rico are and what their album Reactions can reveal.
Varied and incredibly dynamic, Reactions is both its own voice and the voice of its artist: the creative team of singer/guitarist Alex MacRae and drummer Adam Weston. Weston you may already know from his other creative outlet – the highly accomplished Birds of Tokyo – though MacRae, literally and figuratively, is an entirely new voice in Australian music.
On stage, and to significantly favourable reviews, this line-up expands to include guitarist Glenn Sarangapany, bassist Rob Stephens and keyboardist Brett Murray – some of the most respected players in the band’s hometown of Perth.
Captured masterfully by renowned Perth based engineer Dave Parkin (Sugar Army, Snowman, Jebediah) and mastered by NYC’s Steve Fallone (TV On The Radio, Sonic Youth); Reactions is the first significant artistic statement to come from this creative partnership, whose most explorative and sculpted work has now been translated from the stage to the studio in spectacular fashion.
From the initial pounce of Miss Adventure, to the water-like glide of first single This Madness; as the sheer depth of Reactions starts unfolding before your ears, you’ll understand why we didn’t want to spoil it for you.

[VERSE 1]
Instead of waiting for something to happen
We started looking for a chance to get out
Together we made a great escape, yeah
Gone without an aim or a care
[CHORUS]
The sound of your voice keeps me warm inside
When I look in your crazy eyes I know -
Everything is all right, everything is cool
Everything is all right when it's done with you
But my own pleasure's just a temporary measure to you
[VERSE 2]
We would nick guitars and get away in stolen cars
There was nothing we couldn't shouldn't wouldn't do
A tripping duo, backseat lovers
There was nowhere else I'd rather be - Track Name: This Madness
-
[VERSE 1]
You don't know me but I know you
It can't be any other way
We'll meet some day I've planned it
I'll command and you'll obey
Some things we'll keep between us
And some things I'll keep to myself
But we'll be the most perfect duet
In secret
[VERSE 2]
Surely you can't resist
All my promised delights
I'll let you get away with murder
If you like
[CHORUS]
I cannot believe myself
And where you let me take you
I'm the same but I'm different
You would leave me if I didn't hide
You'd loath me if you knew why -
This madness is all I've got for you
[VERSE 3]
If I had some colour
Before I lost my mind
Maybe now I'd have a picture
More defined - Track Name: It's Alright
-
[VERSE 1]
I've waited for so long
But waiting was so wrong
I'm worked up in a state
Can't get my thoughts straight
Strung out, wound down
It's alright
[CHORUS]
When I get my head
All together
I'll remind myself
Not to care too much
[VERSE 2]
Our position's in the red
We're hanging by a thread
The change I must ensure
Is well in my control
Breath in, and out
It's alright - Track Name: The Keeper
-
[VERSE 1]
Gettin' on bein' off
If I had a switch I'd flip it
I'll say I'll change I'll say I'll try
You'll change your mind I'm sure of it
You got a soft spot for me
I can see it in your eyes
(You can see he just wants you)
I need you
You can fix me greatly
I can count on you baby
[CHORUS]
I get by when I'm goin' slow
I dig deeper from the bottom of my heart
Oh boy I've been so confused
Oh man I shoulda kept you
In my sights then I would still have you girl
[VERSE 2]
Gettin' up and bein' down
Five AM and restless
Wonder how you're doin' now
And if you've made any progress?
I can feel your touch now
I can see you when I close my eyes
(You can see he just wants you)
I need you
You can hold me steady
When I can't stand baby
[BRIDGE]
Why take it so hard?
You're just getting older and older
Why do you take so long to get over?
Just get up and go
[CHORUS]
I get by when I'm goin' slow
I dig deeper from the bottom of my heart
Oh boy I've been so confused
Oh man I shoulda kept you
(In your sights man)
Oh man I shoulda kept you
(Too bad you're blind man) - Track Name: In The Morning
-
[VERSE 1]
I woke from a dream where I fell to ground
Heart racing body shaking I can't calm down
I haven't seen you now for days and days
And what if you're gone today and what if I never see you again
[CHORUS]
I get tired
So tired
Thinking things
[VERSE 2]
Meandering round my mind with no control
Stuck in a loop in a loop in a loop in a loop in a loop in a loop
In a mess - I'm obsessed with you - want to possess you
Your distance is growing
With all that I'm throwing
I feel so pathetic missing you - Track Name: Not Quite Right
-
[VERSE 1]
I'm not someone who says much
You know I just like to sit back and watch
While the world is passing by
There's something I don't find quite right
If my direction's not in sight, I'll stay here
[VERSE 2]
Every day seems to ramble by
You know I love my space
And I love my time
While I bide my time today
Tomorrow I won't feel quite right
That misused time that I just might regret some day
[BRIDGE]
In comes something new, something so wonderful
And then before I know I've sunk in something that I don't find quite right
[VERSE 3]
Every time that I'm not right
You won't know because I'll keep it inside
Watching as the world goes by
There's something I don't find quite right
'cause when I hide I can't get by
[OUTRO]
Gonna start me a new story
If I'm right I'll have the whole world - surely - Track Name: Adam's Apple
-
[VERSE 1]
I know you're someone's baby
From what I gather there's something else you'd rather
But I let my reading go astray
Your writing's so abstract I could take it any way
[CHORUS]
No more sad eyes
Let's be lovin the lovin we have here now
Please don't ever go
Mumma don't care what mumma don't know
[VERSE 2]
I've seen you round here
There's such a mystery surrounding your identity
I could never get too near
'cause there's always somebody in your immediate vicinity - Track Name: Clever Girl
-
[VERSE 1]
Out tonight with the midweek cohort
And I hope to see you
I got some lines I'd like to run past ya
I know they ain't nothin' new
[CHORUS]
You picked it up
Before I put it down
Nimble wits I like
So we're off on a good thing now
[VERSE 2]
You took me by surprise baby
I thought you were shy
You gave me a wild interpretation
Of what you thought I implied
[VERSE 3]
I tried to sneak a trick from my sleeve
But you're too clever for me
You cunning fox you're ever ready
To pounce when I ain't steady - Track Name: Sucker
-
[VERSE 1]
It's a struggle to be with you
But you're my perfect host
You can't reject everything I do
You better try doubling the dose
Am I holding you too tight? (too tight)
I'm not ready to let go (woah)
We work so well together
We gotta keep it goin’ forever
[CHORUS]
Now this is where I'm gonna be, this is where I'll stay
In the fields of your mind I'm disease and decay
I'm a parasite in you
Sayin' this is how you're gonna behave
( How are you gonna behave )
( How are you gonna behave )
This is how you're gonna behave
So you'll know no other way
[VERSE 2]
I'm feelin' weak at the knees
I need you more than ever
You got the juice that keeps me goin'
You've been such a sweet endeavor
Am I holding you too tight? (too tight)
I'm not ready to let you go (woah)
We work so well together
We gotta keep it goin’ forever
[BRIDGE]
I'm feedin' off your emotional turmoil
Your every move is my fuel
But I need freedom I need joy
So I don't need you no more - Track Name: Just A Bit
-
Could you be just a bit more understanding
I'm not sure where to go or what to know
I think that I know that I know I know
Though I know that I'm just being naive
But one thing will keep me from ruin
Knowing that we all do the same
Knowing that we all do the same
Could you be just a bit more understanding
I'm not sure if what I know means anything
These delusions stick like shadows (like shadows)
Distorting themselves as they grow
But one thing will keep me from ruin
Knowing that we all do the same
So I steal everybody's emotions
I steal everybody's ideas
But one thing will keep me from ruin
Knowing that we all do the same
Knowing that we all do the same
And I leave all my troubles till later
And I leave when they all get too much
But nothing can keep me from ruin
Knowing that we all do the same
Knowing that we all do the same
Knowing that we all do the same
Knowing that we all do the same - Track Name: Orphan Cloud
-
[VERSE 1]
Dance in the sun's dying glow
As he moves from sky to sea
A storm contained in a pillow
Still thunders in dream
[PRECHORUS]
Floating in the sky
Drifter of the night
Moving with a sigh
[CHORUS]
Lone traveler
Passes over
Behind the mountain she comes undone
Then remade over the ocean
Orphan cloud
Rains down on no one
[VERSE 2]
Vagrantly in the sky
Transforming in my eyes
As I try to see through her
She changes her disguise
