As always, the title track is the main attraction; it's a sad and upbeat little number about being in love with someone who is far away and not hearing from them. (Talk about relevant!) Tali White sings, sadly, in his Tali White way, of how he went "a fortnight without so much as an email, then a postcard scant of detail in which you wished me 'all the best!' from the non-specific Northwest." (Oh, so he loved her too, I see!) But the brother can write a witty chorus, and I love this one: "should it one day come to pass/ that you sit down to your memoirs/where will this go, the chapter of your life entitled 'San Francisco?'" Damn. I can listen to this song over and over and not get sick of it. The next two songs, "Young and Dumb" and "The Winter Proper" are more of the same; the former is a jangly little tune that disguises its melancholy quite well, the latter is a sad little piano-based number. (Who broke his heart? Shame on you. I know several girls who have a thing for you, Tali. Don't fret!) The final song is a country-rock cover of the Bee Gees' "I Started A Joke." Nice! I'm telling ya, buy this one for the title track alone--it's DEFINITELY worth it, especially if someone's recently trampled your heart. "

Review By Benjamin Howarth - Pennyblack
"From the Australian indie pop darlings’ new album 'Warmer Corners' comes the single, 'The Chapter In Your Life Entitled San Francisco'. The Lucksmiths may not be a household name, but their reputation is ever improving, as their music becomes increasingly refined.

This is one of their most lovely songs. The point when vocalist Tali White’s voice swoops over the chorus line is one of the highlights of their entire catalogue, and the combination of his clear tones and the sweeping strings and harmonica is thoroughly affecting. The three bonus tracks are nearly as good. ‘Young and Dumb’ is catchy and bouncy, with some neat jingly jangly guitar playing. ‘The Winter Proper’ is a melancholy lament, based around acoustic guitar and piano, not dissimilar to their marvellous ballad ‘The Great Dividing Range’. If this song isn’t good enough to make the cut for the new album, 'Warmer Corners' must be an absolute stunning. Finally, they cover the Bee Gees ‘I Started A Joke’ with aplomb, turning it into a perfect porch ballad, drenched in wailing harmonica.

I’ve always liked The Lucksmiths. They've always been able to write sad but witty songs, but this new single suggests they have become much better musical arrangers. The grander style suits them well. "

Review By Georgiana Cohen - Splendid Magazine
"The Lucksmiths' warm, engaging brand of self-effacing pop-rock ages like fine wine -- as the years pass, it becomes fuller and richer in taste. This four-track EP was a precursor to the group's latest full-length, Warmer Corners, but it's only half true to that record's name. While the songs' soft, heartbreak-worn edges are wreathed in a delicious, muted jangle, their tales of broken love are permeated with piercing coldness. The title track is the album's poppiest offering, showcasing the Australian band's perennially witty wordplay and clever poetry, while also putting forth painfully blunt inquiries like "Are you ever coming home? / Or should I learn to do without you?" "The Winter Proper" is a fairly ominous cut as far as Lucksmiths tracks go, a tale of desertion underscored by tender, empathic piano. As Tali White sings "The covers starting to come loose / In our modern bedrooms / With our ancient problems," the shudders of understanding are genuine.

As a closer, though, the band's fairly straightforward, harmonica-spun cover of The BeeGees' "I Started A Joke" is a treat, with its slow, languid paces and self-reflection -- a fitting wind-down from the building tension of the preceding tracks."
