Inshalla is a wonderfully unguarded and inspiring set that harnesses the band's fresh outlook and channels it through new methods of songwriting and arranging. Infectious drum grooves pulse beneath Temperley's emotive vocals and form an infectious dynamic that sees melodies to soar. Light keyboard flourishes, a single violin, inventive guitar tones tempered with a pleasing amount of space all paint this vivid portrait of a year in the life of Eskimo Joe. Demoing a dozen tracks and recording 11 at Byron Bay's Studio 301, the trio were pushed beyond their comfort zone and to a new level by acclaimed British rock producer Gil Norton (Foo Fighters, the Pixies, Echo and the Bunnymen and The Counting Crows). The esteemed rock producer challenged the band to craft songs that said the most with less.
