The Everblack Podcast spoke to Jimmy Kyle from Chasing Ghosts about their new album Therapy, its musical direction, and tackling heavy subjects such as domestic violence from a different angle, his work with First Nations communities, the importance of conversations around racism in Australia, their upcoming tour, and more.
Watch/listen to the interview here:
Chasing Ghosts have always been a band whose music has championed urgency in its messaging. Unbridled passion and fury meets honest storytelling and observations delivered by frontman and songwriter, Jimmy Kyle.
A Thungutti man who has emerged as one of Australia’s most important voices in recent years, Kyle’s lyricism has seasoned and matured beautifully since the release of Chasing Ghosts’ 2011 debut, Confessions From A Phone Booth. As a songwriter, Kyle marries introspection with boldness as his stories confront, deconstruct and illuminate the challenging realities of being an Indigenous Australian; while also championing human persistence, the ability to overcome, and the recognition of beauty in even the most flawed.
It is this sense of boldness that has made Chasing Ghosts a beloved live act and an exciting one to watch develop with each studio project. With the release of their new album Therapy, Chasing Ghosts reconnect with fresh perspective and attack some of their most personal and intimate material yet with cathartic strength. As the title suggests, Therapy has its links to music – the creation of a space where expression is unfiltered and allowed to explore areas of dark and light.
As an album, Therapy is unafraid to be vulnerable as it journeys confrontational issues faced by many: mental health crises, domestic violence, intergenerational trauma; and the process of recognising and navigating one’s way through to a healthier outcome.
