Bird Noises

Midnight Oil

Four tracks of lean, jagged post-punk and unexpected surf-instrumentals. A high-tension snapshot of a band finding their sharpest edges.

It's the Oils at their sharpest and most nervous, plus a killer surf instrumental.

A high-strung, angular energy that balances aggressive post-punk with moments of coastal serenity.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The clean, cascading guitar melody of Wedding Cake Island that feels like a cooling ocean breeze.
The frantic, percussive explosion at the bridge of I'm the Cure where the pressure finally breaks.
The sharp, rhythmic interplay between the bass and the jagged guitar riffs on Knife's Edge.
