Jack Ladder

Jack Ladder’s voice oozes an incredible presence.

The Aussie singer has a passion for song and lyrics that has not been heard since the likes of Nick Cave and Paul Kelly.

Ladder is mesmerising with his droning vocals, and so similar are they to the great Cave’s early work that comparisons cannot be ignored.

While not as dreary and ignited with naked rage as Cave once was, Ladder easily carries a similar mantle – albeit with softer hands.

Four and a half stars
