‘Miracle Cure’ is the first taste of new music from WA rockers Eskimo Joe.
Written and recorded between Kav Temperley and Joel Quartermain’s studios in Fremantle and Melbourne, ‘Miracle Cure’ is a soaring stadium rocker mixed by Holy Holy’s Oscar Dawson.
Beginning with a melodic piano line and Temperley’s captivating vocals, the introduction of a dazzling guitar riff and steady percussion transforms ‘Miracle Cure’ into a fist-pumping indie anthem.
“‘Miracle Cure’ is about the search for redemption and how only love can pull us back from the edge,” Temperley said in a statement about the tune. “It's about hope and the vulnerability that comes with trusting someone to save you. This song is about confronting our flaws and finding strength in love and hope, even if the cure we’re searching for might not exist.”
Accompanying the release of ‘Miracle Cure’ is a music video shot by cinematographer David Le May. The clip features the band performing live at the historic Old Customs House in Fremantle.
One of Australia’s most successful alt-rock acts of the past 30 years, Eskimo Joe have released six studio albums across the journey, selling more than 750,000 records in Australia alone.
Black Fingernails, Red Wine, arguably the band’s most successful album, debuted at #1 on the ARIA Album chart and spent an astonishing 62 weeks in the ARIA Chart Top 50.
Having won 15 WAMi Awards, eight ARIA Awards, two APRA Awards, and scored the #2 spot on triple j’s Hottest 100 countdown with ‘Black Fingernails, Red Wine’ in 2006, it’s fair to say Eskimo Joe are one of the most accomplished Aussie acts going around.
Although it’s been 12 years since they last released an album, fingers crossed ‘Miracle Cure’ means a new long player is in the works from the East Fremantle lads.
