Domestic Harmony, the debut album from Sydney's Do Re Mi, arrived on Virgin in August 1985, and it's the sound of a sharp post-punk band refusing to play nice. Deborah Conway sings lead, Stephen Philip handles guitar, Helen Carter plays bass and Dorland Bray drums, and all four share the writing credits across its ten tracks. Gavin MacKillop produced.
The centerpiece is "Man Overboard", reworked from their earlier Waiting Room EP into a top 5 hit, and a strange one at that: no chorus to lean on, just Conway picking apart penis envy, pubic hair and anal humour over a slinky, nervy groove. The album went gold and took Best Debut Album at the 1985 Countdown Music Awards.
