Homeland Movement is the debut studio album by Australian rock band Yothu Yindi that was released in April 1989 on the Mushroom Records label. The album peaked at number 59 on the ARIA Chart in 1992.
Following a tour of Australia and North America in late 1988, supporting Midnight Oil, the band signed with Mushroom Records and spent a day in Sydney recording a demo tape. Mushroom Records released the demo as the band's debut album.[1]
One side of the album comprised punchy politicised rock songs, such as "Mainstream", whilst the other side concentrated on traditionally based songs like "Djapana (Sunset Dreaming)", written by former teacher Mandawuy Yunupingu.[2]
