'Beautiful Strangers' and 'Harlem River' corner, Kevin Morby is headed to Australia this spring for a national tour.
Already revealed last month as part of the Wanderer Festival on NSW's Sapphire Coast, the American indie rock-folk musician will headline concerts in Sydney, Melbourne, Eltham, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth from late September.Morby fans have extra good news to savour with the companion piece to his 2022 album, 'This Is A Photograph', 'More Photographs (A Continuum)' to be released later this month (26 May).
"If 'This Is A Photograph' is a house that you have been living inside of," Morby says, "then 'More Photographs' is, perhaps, the same home just experienced differently.
"As if you, its inhabitant, have taken a tab of something psychedelic, and now, suddenly, you've replaced your eyeglasses with kaleidoscopes."
Morby returns to his landmark album's bottomless themes with new wisdom, new imagination, and the winking, looping callbacks that tie his full body of work together in uniquely special ways.
"Everything you once thought was familiar," he continues, "suddenly appears differently, shifting shapes, colour and sonic landscapes.
"With every collection of songs," adds Morby, "I feel I must cast them out of me before moving onto the next project, and here I knew that what I had begun with 'This Is A Photograph' was not finished. Releasing this collection is my tying a bow on that time and place in my creative life."
