Song written by Charlie Mgee & Formidable Vegetable.

Earth People Fair is a manifesto to finding a sense of ‘home’ from the perspective of someone who has often felt out of place. Partly inspired by Bruce Pascoe’s book ‘Dark Emu’, Mgee points to an urgent need for Australians to start recognising and adopting more sustainable land use in an ecologically-fragile country, attempting to draw links between traditional indigenous practices and more modern systems of permaculture as a way for its more recent inhabitants to try and adapt to the increasingly harsh conditions we all face.

Recorded at MaxSound, Fremantle WA, Chez Mal, St Kilda VIC & the Desert Feet Truck, Gascoyne River, WA. Engineered by Max Power, Andrew Chambers & Jim Moynihan Production by Spoonbill, Dazastah & Formidable Vegetable.
