Tex Perkins is an Australian rock musician with a gift for crafting emotionally direct songs that avoid both sincerity and irony—a difficult balance in 1990s indie rock. Far Be It From Me, from 1996, showcases his ability to build quiet moments into something genuinely moving. The production is warm and intimate, instruments sitting at comfortable distance rather than fighting for space. His voice carries a world-weariness without cynicism, delivering observational lyrics about relationships and disappointment with understated humor. The songwriting is solid, the playing confident without showy technique. This is the kind of record that accumulates value through repeated listening, revealing small details you missed before. Australian indie rock at its most thoughtful and unassuming.
