Junk Theatre was the second album from Australian folk-rockers Things of Stone and Wood, the follow-up to The Yearning, and it matched its predecessor by climbing to number 8 on the ARIA Albums Chart. This time the band plugged in harder: the songs lean more toward rock than folk, and the acoustic lilt of the debut gets roughed up and toughened.
What hasn't changed is the conscience. The band still writes about the world outside the window, but where The Yearning was stitched with local references, these songs aim wider, taking swings at racism and at what the television set does to the people staring into it. Start with "Wildflowers".
