Venus Returning is the debut studio album by Australian pop band The Mavis's, released in May 1996 by record label Mushroom. [1] It was produced by Kalju Tonuma ( Nick Barker). [2] [3] Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, described how it "highlighted the band's brash sound, which mixed the Thomas siblings' idiosyncratic, imperfect vocal blend, crashing guitars, sugar-frosted melodies, goofy keyboard embellishments and odd instrumentation (sitar, Tibetan bells and Indian banjo)." [2] The album provided three singles, "Thunder" (March 1996), "Box" (June) and "Lost" (November). [2] "Thunder" was listed on the national youth radio Triple J audience poll, Hottest 100 of 1996, at No. 92. [4] [5] The album peaked at No. 76 on the Australian ARIA Albums Chart. [6]
