Jebediah is the third studio album by Australian alternative rock band Jebediah. It was recorded at Mangrove Studios, outside Sydney with producer Magoo, and released on 3 March 2002 by record label Murmur.
The album debuted at No. 8 on the ARIA Albums Chart and remained in the top 50 for five weeks.
Jebediah was recorded from June to August 2001 at Mangrove Studios, outside Sydney, with production by Magoo ( Regurgitator, Spiderbait, Midnight Oil). [1] [2] [3]
Lead guitarist Chris Daymond explained the band's choice of an eponymous title:
Simply calling it Jebediah is something we wanted to do because it doesn't really point in either direction. We've used some in-jokes in the past in our work, things that are distinctly our style. Having a self-titled album this time around is a way of us being the same sort of band, but slightly older.
—Chris Daymond [2]
Vocalist Kevin Mitchell clarified their musical direction:
It's got the raw, live feel, the way we perform songs musically and vocally, but with more of a studio feel than the previous ones as well. We came in with a pretty clear idea of what we wanted, just based on previous experience and how we knew we wanted to change. After the last album [ Of Someday Shambles] we really wanted to breathe some life and spirit into this one.
—Kevin Mitchell [2]
The album's lead single, " Fall Down", was released in October 2001, reaching No. 24 on the ARIA Singles Chart. The second single, " Nothing Lasts Forever", released in February 2002, peaked in the top 50. The third single, " N.D.C.", was released in July, reached the top 100. The fourth and final single, "October", released the same year, did not chart. [4]
Jebediah was released on 3 March 2002 by record label Murmur. It debuted at number 8 on the ARIA Albums Chart, [4] but did not achieve Gold record accreditation.
Following the release and promotion of Jebediah, Murmur (a subsidiary of Sony) ceased contractual arrangements with the band. [5] In 2000 the group and their management company, Naked Ape Management (with Heath Bradby as CEO), [6] had created their own label, Redline Records. [7] [8] The label subsequently issued the group's own material, which was distributed by Shock Records. [5] [9]
Greg Lawrence of Whammo opined that it "sees a band in their element, brimming with confidence. Led by the tracks 'Fall Down' and 'Nothing Lasts Forever'". [9] Ed Nimmervoll at Howlspace described their aim "for the third album they resolved to try to have fun again, recorded relatively quickly". [5]
All tracks are written by Jebediah (Chris Daymond, Brett Mitchell, Kevin Mitchell and Vanessa Thornton) [10]
