Red Sails in the Sunset

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in Tokyo to capture an intentionally abrasive and live-sounding energy, the band's fifth LP tackles themes of nuclear anxiety, environmental destruction, and Indigenous rights. The complex, frantic arrangements push their pub-rock roots toward an expansive, politically charged brand of alternative rock. The arresting cover art, depicting Sydney Harbor post-nuclear strike, perfectly mirrors the apocalyptic urgency of Peter Garrett's vocal performances.
