GoComeBack (Vinyl) - By: Mick Thomas - Model Number: CBS019LP

Description

The new album GoComeBack by beloved Melbourne act Mick Thomas™ Roving Commission is a song cycle about the allure of home - GoComeBack is a pidgin Indonesian term for a return journey - penned by one of Australia™s finest ever songsmiths (as three ARIAs with his former outfit Weddings Parties Anything will attest).
Recorded in Auckland at Neil Finn™s Roundhead Studio with ARIA award-winning producer Steven Schram (Crowded House, Paul Kelly, Sans Cisco etc), GoComeBack is the follow-up to 2023™s Where Only Memory Can Find You which found its way to #1 on the AIR Independent Albums chart. GoComeBack splits neatly into two halves:
˜Go' is side one - it takes you away, leaves you in a far off place. You catch a bus at dawn, by a submerged island you hear distant voices, you marvel at how mundane a supposedly exotic place can be, and how exotic a functional entity needs to be. You catch up with a band who went a-touring and never came back, you get your nails done by someone who wishes they were far away. ˜ComeBack™ is side two - it tries to see beauty in the everyday. A tram ride through a divided city, some wild birds in the airport food hall, a sculpture by the river and a small child in a Vietnamese restaurant. Mick sits on a pier in an obscure seaside town and wonders how he got there while some artists try their bohemian best to pretend their domicile is anywhere but a work-a-day Melbourne suburb.
