    In March 2023 Turn South put out the lovely Something That Connects Us. We're stoked to be releasing it now on cassette for you the people.
    Written by Turn South
    Produced/Mixed/Mastered by Jack Newlyn
    Album cover by Buzz Ciccotelli

    ID: Four cassettes stacked on a wooden coffee table leaning against a green and white ceramic pot. There is a single, fluro-green cassette outside of its case on the left and three cassettes in their covers on the right. The cassette cover shows an Adelaide beach on a sunny day. There are people swimming in the water and in the foreground is a person standing and running to the water. The words "Turn South something that connects us" are written on the cassette.

    The second image is identical but has been taken from the right, revealing a slightly different angle.

lyrics

Got a few mates as disillusioned as me
That's how they want you to feel
The powers that be
All the corporate elites in control of what you see on your TV

The systematic oppression
This manic depression is killing me
As they stifle reflection
They're selling elections and they brutalise the unfree

We're kept satisfied cause we're given just enough to keep getting by
And there's wedges they're driving between you and I
Divide us and conquer until we die

"As much and as good as" is disappearing down the sink
While the house on the hill monopolises all the scenery
They can't erase all the throw-aways,
that connect us all every day
All these patterns of reciprocal kindness
It's more than self-righteousness

The bureaucratic deflections undermining connections to country
Eroding protections, arbitrary detention,
They commercialise the unfree

We're kept satisfied cause we're given just enough to keep getting by
And there's wedges they're driving between you and I
Divide us and conquer until we die
