Bondi is Adam Gibson's third book of poetry, capturing the essence of the iconic Australian beachside suburb in a wonderfully incisive and affecting manner. Born and bred in Bondi, Adam writes with a strong sense of place, his turn of phrase being distinctly Australian and his imagery pure-honed and resolutely local. These are poems of vigour and perception, at times melancholy, at others intensely personal, wry and optimistic. These are raw stories of lives lived on Bondi's streets, of the passing of the seasons, the charting of the juggernaut of change and, at the end of everything, the beach that always remains in place…

This is the much-lauded debut album by the Aerial Maps.
Released by Melbourne's Popboomerang Records, it is a collection of 12 songs covering a wide range of ideas, topics, places and time zones ... from Brisbane in the night, to Barcelona in the afternoon, from Berlin bus-stops to Bondi pubs.
The common linking thing is an honest sensibility that seeks to strip away pretense and speak as directly as possible about how things are (or were) or at least seem to have been when accessed through the haze of memory and years (and/or vodka).
Thus, it's a widescreen view of the world - as seen from an Australian standpoint - and we believe there's no better view available than that.
**Price includes postage within Australia**
