Sorry and Ski Trip were the first song
Press Release: The fourth release from Jebediah's platinum debut album Slightly Odway,
"Harpoon" is perhaps the band's most accessible song yet and is released here in
a unique manner.
Packaged as a full-length EP, "Harpoon", features 5
great bonus tracks - great companions to the powerful and emotive strains of the
title track.
In addition to Jebediah's heartfelt reading of "Harpoon",
the EP also features Jebediah's label-mates Something for Kate doing their own
darker, heavier version of the same song. Jebediah return the compliment on
track 3 by covering S.F.K.'s "Clint".
Next are two new Jebediah
recordings - "Sorry" and "Ski Trip" - before the EP closes with Jebediah's own
interpretation of the Flock of Seagulls' cheesy '80s gem "I Ran". A truly
schlocky one-hit wonder, Jebediah give it a touch of Pulp Fiction surf guitar
for maximum cool.
In addition the vinyl version comes in it's own
individual manner - as a double 7" split with Something for Kate - featuring a
"Harpoon" disc (with the A-side performed by Jebediah and the B side by
Something for Kate) and a "Clint" (with the A side performed by SFK and the B
side by Jebediah).
Jebediah will perform as special guests for the
Smashing Pumpkins in Sydney on June 18 and Melbourne June 20. A full national
tour is currently being scheduled for August.
