Where Two Oceans Meet 3:33<br /> <br /> Release Notes:<br /> --------<br /> &lsquo;Chimney's afire&rsquo; is the cry whalers of yesteryear made when they harpooned a<br /> whale and a plume of blood and water spurted out of its blowhole into the air.<br /> &ldquo;It's a horrifying, brutal image, but the actual language is evocative and quite<br /> amazing,&rdquo; says Josh Pyke of the title of his new album, the follow-up to his<br /> ARIA Award winning debut &lsquo;Memories &amp; Dust&rsquo;.<br /> While Pyke&rsquo;s interest primarily lies in the language of the time rather than the<br /> act of whaling itself, references of a nautical nature flow through the album.<br /> &ldquo;I've always been interested in maritime history... my ancestors were all<br /> whalers and Navy men, so I feel some kind of pull for that kind of life and<br /> history,&rdquo; he says.<br /> Maritime themed books about Magellan, Moby Dick and Joshua Slocum&rsquo;s solo voyage<br /> around the world contributed to the imagery in the songs as well as childhood<br /> reminiscences and stories.<br /> &ldquo;Ever since I was a kid reading adventure books, especially Huckleberry Finn,<br /> I've always had the desire to jump on a raft and disappear down a river,&rdquo; says<br /> Pyke. &ldquo;When I was growing up there was a beach town called Patonga that my<br /> family would go to every year. The song &lsquo;The Summer&rsquo; is based on that town.<br /> Everyday I'd jump in a canoe and paddle up the river and set crab traps, or jig<br /> for squid from the wharf or get my dad to drive me to the next town to go<br /> surfing. I always think of those simple pleasures as the ultimate happiness, and<br /> so I think I relate solid, seafaring adventuring tales as the romantic,<br /> alternate universe that I'd want to live in if I was ever to throw it all away<br /> and disappear.&rdquo;<br /> <br /> The album is more than a simple ode to seafaring though. Pyke traverses an ocean<br /> of memories, ideas and thoughts about everyday concerns, with stability and the<br /> notion of making up your own mind emerging as overriding themes.<br /> He explores the concept of a home, what it means and why it's important; fate,<br /> and whether there is a plan for us all; getting older and what it means to<br /> settle down; responsibility; being careless or careful with people and the<br /> legacy one leaves when they go. While these concepts aren&rsquo;t exactly unchartered<br /> musical territory, it&rsquo;s Pyke&rsquo;s unique way with words, sense of melody and quirky<br /> song structures though that set him apart from other singer/songwriters.<br /> <br /> With &lsquo;Chimney&rsquo;s Afire&rsquo;, Pyke is set to anchor himself as one Australia&rsquo;s most<br /> talented artists. While he co-produced &lsquo;Memories &amp; Dust&rsquo; with Wayne Connolly<br /> (resulting in an ARIA Award for Producer of the Year), this time around he<br /> recorded and produced the majority of the record himself. In the studio, Pyke<br /> would perform the songs then dash into the control room to compile in Pro-Tools,<br /> as well as arrange the songs and direct the additional musicians.<br /> &ldquo;The main challenge was switching roles a million times a day and not losing<br /> that sense of fun when I was doing the performance side, and not losing the<br /> sense of objectivity when I had my producer&rsquo;s hat on.&rdquo;<br /> While other artists have chosen to self-produce records because they haven&rsquo;t<br /> been happy with earlier albums, this wasn&rsquo;t the case for Pyke.<br /> &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve learned so much from people like Wayne Connolly, and I want to produce<br /> other artists in the future, so it seemed like the natural progression to<br /> develop my skills on my own record. At least that way if I was no good it'd be<br /> my own record and not someone else&rsquo;s that I'd be ruining!&rdquo;<br /> Both Connolly and Paul McKercher (Augie March, You Am I) co-produced a pair of<br /> songs each, while the album was mixed by both Rob Schnapf (Elliott Smith, Beck,<br /> The Vines) in Los Angeles and McKercher in Sydney.<br />
