GoComeBack splits neatly into two halves:'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.  '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. Lead 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 First Step in a Homeward Direction \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Ada Kaleh \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Suburbs of Memphis \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Build This \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Dreams of New South Wales \u003cbr\u003e1.6 For the Dirt Under Your Nails \u003cbr\u003e1.7 A Mighty Ride \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Sparrows of Tullamarine \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Pho Baby \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Angel By the River \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Low Tide on Westernport \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Weatherboard Shrine\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Mick Roving Commission Thomas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42492839788615,"sku":"45517235","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4457288-3447556.jpg?v=1770464911","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/mick-roving-commission-thomas-gocomeback-compact-discs","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
