My three-year old's favourite song at the moment - remind you of anything?

Just looking at that. If it was on tonight anywhere I'd be all over it - looking at getting out of the house with the wiffey tonight if possible. Need some distance from the kids. :shake:

I hope this admission doesn't get my citizenship cancelled but I've never (until now) listened to a Midnight Oil album in full. Sure, I know the "hits" well enough through cultural osmosis, but I've never been so intrigued as to listen to a whole record.

In recent weeks, YouTube's mysterious algorithm has been pushing the Oils on the Water concert to me and I finally relented this morning and played When the Generals Talk, mainly because the guitarist in the thumbnail was playing a mid 60s Fender Jaguar. Holy moly! That song was really good - and now, here I am listening to its parent album, Red Sails in the Sunset, and absolutely loving it. This is a great record!

I wish I had an hour to watch that show. Glad you’re enjoying it Spenno. Red Sails and 10...01 could be right up your alley.

Red Sails is my fave Oils album. Excellent, start to finish.

Glad to have you on board, Spenno.

We’ll be releasing our first piece of new music in nearly 20 years with ‘Gadigal Land’ – the first single from our forthcoming mini-album ‘The Makarrata Project’ (out late October). It features special contributions by vocalists Kaleena Briggs, Bunna Lawrie, Dan Sultan plus a lyrical section written and delivered by Gadigal poet, Joel Davison.

Looking forward to the EP. The Oils, in my humble opinion, already released the greatest EP ever, so have good form here.

This song is OK. Certainly is by The Oils - so familiar.

It's a fair song that they've done better elsewhere in their catalogue. It certainly won't be a go-to song.

Keen for the ep now.

Also, how did I miss this post from the band in February. Short story is a new studio album out soon (should have been now).

Quote:
Over the coming weeks you’ll start hearing about some of the specific things we’re doing in 2020, so before all that starts we wanted to tell you directly about the broad brushstrokes.

After coming home from Europe via Birdsville in mid-2019 we started recording new music together for the first time in nearly two decades. Our mate Warne Livesey travelled from Toronto to Sydney to produce these sessions just as he did on Diesel & Dust, Blue Sky Mining and Capricornia. It felt good to be back in the studio, and intriguing to see where it all ended up.

We had over 20 songs we wanted to record and eight of them shared a strong focus on the issue of indigenous reconciliation, so we invited some of our First Nations friends to collaborate with us in various ways on each of these eight tracks. Our collective work will be released as a mini-album called The Makarrata Project in June/July. Band profits from this release will be donated to charities which elevate The Uluru Statement From The Heart (ulurustatement.org/the-statement). This mid-year release of The Makarrata Project will be accompanied by a small handful of themed live performances in Australia featuring some of the very special guests who helped create this mini-album.

Then toward the end of the year we’ll release a new Midnight Oil album which is currently at final mixing stage. This completely separate batch of material deals with various lyrical themes including climate chaos, no surprise after the mega fires we’ve just experienced in Australia. We plan to follow the album with lots more Australian and international touring across late 2020 and early 2021.

Over the next 12 months we will also be releasing various singles from both The Makarrata Project mini-album and the new Midnight Oil album. We’re seriously excited about all of these songs and the two separate works on which they will feature. Stay tuned for more detailed announcements about our new music and our touring plans. Thanks in the meantime for your patience … we know it’s been a long wait but good things take time!

Very Best
Midnight Oil

I wonder if there is anyone out there our age who has never heard this band. If so, they haven’t really lived.

Thanks to you and Higgs in this thread, most of them. They should have been bigger in popularity than they were.
