Of Someday Shambles is the second studio album by Australian alternative rock band Jebediah. It was recorded between April and June 1999 and was produced by Mark Trombino. It was released on 3 October 1999 by record label Murmur.
It peaked at No. 2 on the ARIA Albums Chart and, by December of the following year, it received a Platinum certification from ARIA.
Of Someday Shambles was recorded from April to June 1999 by Jebediah with American producer Mark Trombino (Knapsack, Jimmy Eat World, Blink 182). The group's line-up was Chris Daymond on lead guitar, Kevin Mitchell on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Vanessa Thornton on bass guitar and Kevin's older brother Brett Mitchell on drums. On the choice of Trombino as producer, Kevin explained:
We chose him because he'd done the last two records by Knapsack... they're kinda like a discordant punk band, this weird indie rock pop punk crossover. We mainly made the decision because of the direction we could see the songs going. They were still pop songs like Odway but they were getting more complicated, not as straightforward; they had a bit more depth to them.
Working with Trombino had Brett Mitchell "record with a metronomic click track" for his drum parts. Daymond recalled that Brett would "keep going, but there would be longer pauses between him being asked, 'Are you OK?' and him replying, 'I'm all right' ... The pauses would get longer and longer. Then eventually he'd go, 'I need a cigarette'."
"Animal" was the lead single from the album and was released on 9 August 1999. It reached number 16 on the ARIA Singles Charts, which was promoted by an Australian tour supported by New Zealand indie rock band Garageland.
Of Someday Shambles was released on 3 October 1999 by Murmur. Initial pressings of the album contained a bonus DVD, filmed by the band during the recording of the album. The DVD features footage of the band in the studio and in public, in addition to music videos from the first album, including "Harpoon" and "Teflon". The album peaked at number two on the ARIA Albums Chart and remained in the top 50 for 25 weeks. By December 2000 Of Someday Shambles had received a platinum certificate from ARIA.
