COLOUR: Crystal Blue EXTRAS: Limited edition, reissue
Described by frontman Kavyen Temperley as their "dirty 30s" album, West Australian rock trio Eskimo Joe's fifth studio record, Ghosts of the Past (2011) delves into the band's transition into early middle age, showcasing their introspective and personal side. The upbeat handclaps and folky tunes of "Words of Avoidance" provide a stark contrast to the serious topic of domestic violence, "When We Were Kids" reminisces about the recklessness of youth, and the catchy piano hooks and soothing strings on "Just Don't Feel" raise profound questions about the band's place in the music industry today.
