Kosciuszko is the fifth studio album by Australian alternative rock band Jebediah, released on Dew Process on 15 April 2011.[10] As well as being available on CD, a limited number of copies were also released on vinyl.[11]
History
The band commenced writing for the album in 2006.[12]
Recording process
The recording of the album was undertaken following a period of hiatus for the band[13] and the relocation to Melbourne, Australia, of lead singer–rhythm guitarist, Kevin Mitchell.[14] 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.[12]
Release
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.[15]
Promotion
The band performed "She's Like A Comet" On Australian morning television program, Sunrise, presented by David Koch.
