Museum is the second studio album by Australian indie pop band, Ball Park Music. It was released in Australia and New Zealand on 5 October 2012 via Stop Start/EMI Music Australia. Matt Redlich recorded, produced and mixed the album at Massive Studios, East Brisbane, Queensland, between January and August 2012. It was preceded by the lead single, "Surrender", which was released in July 2012.

At the J Awards of 2012, the album was nominated for Australian Album of the Year.[3]

A tour edition was released on 7 June 2013, with eight live tracks.[4]

Background

[edit]

Museum is the second album by Australian indie pop band, Ball Park Music, which appeared 13 months after their debut album.[5] Their record label issued a statement, "Inspired by the swift turn around in which the likes of The Beatles would deliver new records every six to 12 months, frontman Sam Cromack issued his band of cohorts a challenge to release another album within the year."[5]

Critical response

[edit]

Response to the album was generally favourable. Youth radio station, Triple J, made it their Feature Album in the week after its release and played nine of its 12 tracks: "Fence Sitter", "Surrender", "Coming Down", "Bad Taste Blues, Pt 1", Bad Taste Blues, Pt 2", 'Great Display of Patience", "Pot of Gold" and "High Court". It was also nominated for Triple J's Album of the Year (or J Award) for 2012 with their reviewer explaining, "[it] delivers more of those sing-along jams and hooks you whistle for days, while still pushing the BPM sound forward. It's a little more depressing than their debut, say bandmates Jen and Sam. 'But there's still plenty of silly stuff"', they're quick to add."[6]

The album debuted on the ARIA chart at number 9.[7]
