Diesel and Dust

by Midnight Oil

Diesel and Dust cover art

A towering achievement of political alternative rock, 'Diesel and Dust' directly addresses the historical mistreatment of Indigenous Australians and widespread environmental destruction. Peter Garrett's impassioned vocals and the band's driving, acoustic-tinged guitar arrangements create a warm, anthemic soundscape deeply connected to the Australian outback. It remains a fiercely conscious, melodic protest record that achieved massive global resonance.
