{"product_id":"mick-thomas-roving-commission-gocomeback-cd","title":"Mick Thomas' Roving Commission - GoComeBack [CD]","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"redeye-blurb\"\u003eThe 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).\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nRecorded 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. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nGoComeBack splits neatly into two halves:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n‘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. \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n‘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.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\nLead single ‘First Step In A Homeward Direction’ acts as a mission statement for the collection, and upon release earlier this year (as part of a 7-track EP featuring covers of songs by Aussie artists) it debuted at #1 on the AIR Independent Singles chart.\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \u003cul\u003e\n          \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mick Thomas' Roving Commission\u003c\/li\u003e\n          \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coolin' By Sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n          \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n          \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat detail:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n          \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2026-02-27\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mick Thomas' Roving Commission","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47359779799238,"sku":"634457230897","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/8085\/0374\/files\/201375070331.jpg?v=1789847148","url":"https:\/\/paladinvinyl.com\/es\/products\/mick-thomas-roving-commission-gocomeback-cd","provider":"Paladin Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
