**Jim Moginie & The Family Dog** return with their follow up to their 2018 debut ‘Bark Overtures’.

Jim Moginie (Midnight Oil), Kent Steedman and Paul Larsen Loughhead (Celibate Rifles) and Tim Kevin (The Apartments, La Huva) have made a dirty rock record live in Jim’s Oceanic Studio in Sydney.

Jim: ‘We’re releasing THUNK on physical format only, for now, as the tech giants are slowly killing the music industry by denying musicians income with pitiful streaming payments and being able to make decent sounding records at all with its domino effect on recording budgets, studios and mastering engineers.

investing in AI harvesting and creation of AI content, their only motivation is profit, and in Spotify’s case assisting in the creation of actual war machines.

I hope we see the turning of the tide in the near future as many artists are pushing back, that’s why we’re only releasing THUNK on cassette, vinyl and CD through Songland Records, who will ship it to every corner of the world. The record has live off the floor feeling that had to be preserved at all costs, and that rawness is manifest, recorded and mixed onto analog tape old school style. And we’ll go out a support it live with a tour in February and March 2026.’

THUNK’s lyrics deal with current concerns, well meaning and misplaced advice, nostalgia for some mythical lost Australian past and the death of the First Amendment to name just a few. Lead songs are ‘Sunny Boy’, ’I’ve Got Things To Say’, ‘5G’, ‘The First Amendment’ and ‘Satan And The Chosen People’.
