Venus Returning


Venus Returning is the debut studio album by Australian pop band The Mavis's, released in May 1996 by record label Mushroom. It was produced by Kalju Tonuma. 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." "Thunder" was listed on the national youth radio Triple J audience poll, Hottest 100 of 1996, at No. 92. The album peaked at No. 76 on the Australian ARIA Albums Chart.
