Our Take

Rising from the ashes like a fiery phoenix, Midnight Oil return with their latest offering, "The Makarrata Project." This eclectic mix of politically-charged anthems and soul-stirring ballads is a testament to the band's enduring passion for activism and social justice.

From the stirring opening track, "First Nation," which pays homage to Australia's indigenous peoples, to the powerful collaboration with vocal powerhouse Jessica Mauboy on "Gadigal Land," every song on this album feels like a rallying cry for change.

The band's iconic frontman, Peter Garrett, delivers his signature fiery vocals with a sense of urgency and conviction that is impossible to ignore. His lyrics pack a punch, tackling issues of injustice, environmental degradation, and the legacy of colonization with unapologetic honesty.

The guest appearances on this album are a veritable who's who of the Australian music scene, with contributions from Warumpi Band, Troy Cassar-Daley, and many more. Each artist brings their own unique flavour to the mix, adding depth and richness to the overall sound.

Overall, "The Makarrata Project" is a powerful and timely reminder of Midnight Oil's enduring relevance in the music industry. With its potent blend of rock, folk, and indigenous influences, this album is a testament to the band's commitment to using their platform for good. In a world plagued by division and injustice, Midnight Oil continue to stand tall as beacons of hope and inspiration.
