Diesel And Dust

Midnight Oil

Peter Garrett and his bandmates ventured deep into the outback to meet Indigenous communities. This period forced a total reassessment of their songwriting approach, shifting their focus toward land rights and political advocacy.

Warne Livesey produced the set, aiming for a sharp and wide-ranging audio quality. The music combines rugged rock intensity with dusty, electric rhythms that mirror the tension found in late eighties society.
