In which Eskimo Joe hoist high the flag of creative bankruptcy with the shittest falsetto this side of Jet’s Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is, ham-fistedly offset by Kav’s overwrought vocal turn in the middle eight, plodding along with garish chiming synths and a melodic ear that equates to Ringo Starr’s worst songwriting efforts (minus any endearing semblance). Get What You Need is the first single from Wastelands – an album aided by crowdsourced funding to the tune of $60,000. To put things in perspective, that is probably how much[Citation needed] it cost to CGI in the fog effects for the band’s major-backed New York video after backwards miming proved too difficult. Australian alternative rock is dead, and Eskimo Joe just let off its posthumous queef.
