Background and recording

Even though Jebediah took five years to re-enter the studio after the release of their Anniversary E.P. (2005), the band began drafting the songs as early as 2006. Between the two albums, the band took a break, with lead singer–rhythm guitarist Kevin Mitchell relocating to Melbourne during the hiatus.[1][2]

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.[3]

Kosciuszko was released on 15 April 2011 by record label Dew Process.[13] 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.[14]

Its first single "She's Like a Comet" quickly became a hit,[15] and the band performed the song on Australian morning television program Sunrise.

The album reached number 6 in the ARIA Chart, staying in the chart for six weeks.[16] As well as being available on CD, a limited number of copies were also released on vinyl.[17]
