Kosciuszko (album)

''Kosciuszko'' is the fifth studio album by Australian alternative rock band Jebediah. Released on April 15th, 2011 by Dew Process'','' the album introduced the award-winning band to mainstream audiences and commercial success.

Background and recording

Even though Jebediah took five years to re-enter the studio after the release of their '' Anniversary E.P.'' (2005)'','' the band began drafting the songs as early as 2006. Between the two albums, the band took a break, with lead singer–rhythm guitarist Kevin Mitchell relocating to Melbourne during the hiatus.

Recording occurred at Blackbird Studios in Perth, Australia, and production duties were undertaken by Dave Parkin (owner of the studio) in collaboration with the band. Kevin Mitchell revealed in a radio interview:

It's probably the only time we've ever made a record where it was actually finished when it was finished. Every other time you're pretty much given a month or a two month block. When that last day ticks over the record is finished; whether it's finished or not. So this was an absolutely luxury to do it that way.

Promotion and release

''Kosciuszko'' was released on 15 April 2011 by record label Dew Process. On each of the twelve days leading up to the album's release, a short video (around one minute) was uploaded to the band's YouTube page, in which the band provides insight into each of the album's songs.

Its first single "She's Like a Comet" quickly became a hit, and the band performed the song on Australian morning television program '' Sunrise''.

The album reached number 6 in the ARIA Chart, staying in the chart for six weeks. As well as being available on CD, a limited number of copies were also released on vinyl.
