Thousand Yard Stare, the fifth album from Mornington Peninsula wiseacres the Fauves, came out in 2000 and marked a homecoming of sorts: dumped by Polydor after Universal took that label over, the band went back to Shock, the independent they had started out on. It was a changing of the guard too, with founding bassist Andrew Dyer bowing out and the band's longtime sound engineer stepping in to replace him.
None of it blunted their sense of humour. This is witty, melodic indie pop-rock with its tongue in its cheek, and titles like "Bigger Than Tina" and "Give Up Your Day Job" tell you the jokes are still coming, delivered over guitars that know their way around a hook.
