Of course, there's much more to Tasmania than that. On both eight-minute epic “Burnt Out Star” and the title track, singer Nick Allbrook repeats the sentiment “I might go and shack up in Tasmania before the ozone goes/While paradise burns in Australia.” He takes aim at those who considered The Weather to be a statement rather than the simple truth on “Hand Mouth Dancer”: “So you got political, can you speak on that?/I didn’t get political, I just faced the facts.” Thematically, the album's poignant environmentalism follows on from 2017’s The Weather.
