Kirin J Callinan has always been a dreamer.

Now, he’s released the rock mockumentary he’s always deserved, with a bunch of famous talking heads sharing their opinions on his seminal record, ‘Telling Me This’.

The artists who declare their love for the Sydneysider’s classic release include Jack Black, Mark Ronson, Mac DeMarco, Client Liaison, Sebastian Tellier, The Go-Betweens, Weyes Blood and Ladyhawke, who all credit‘Telling Me This’as having a huge impact on their own music.

The punchline?‘Telling Me This’isn’t even out yet.

“The first time that I listened to‘Telling Me This’,I was driving and I had to pull the car over onto a rest stop – very exciting and very goosebumpy,” says Mac DeMarco.

Callinan himself asks, “Did I imagine the record would become a cult classic? Yes. You get a sense for these things.”
