A. Savage will return to Australia’s East Coast for a run of tour dates in November.
The Parquet Courts frontman will tours in support of his latest solo album, Several Songs About Fire.
The tour kicks off at Howler in Melbourne on November 15th and continues to Castlemaine on November 16th for his previously announced headline slot at the Town Folk Festival.
It then moves to Sydney’s Oxford Art Factory on November 20th, Season Three in Brisbane on November 22nd, and concludes at The Sound Doctor Anglesea on November 23rd (full ticket information below).
Several Songs About Fire was produced by John Parish in Bristol and features contributions from Jack Cooper (Modern Nature, Ultimate Painting), Cate Le Bon, who heard Savage work on it during a US tour in 2022. Additional input came from saxophonist Euan Hinshelwood (Cate Le Bon’s band), drummer Dylan Hadley (Kamikaze Palm Tree, White Fence), and violinist Magdalena McLean (caroline).
The album is described as a “psychic odyssey,” showcasing Savage’s exceptional lyricism and observational skills. Parish describes it as having “an emotional openness guarded by a laconic wit.” The album explores themes of wealth and poverty, self and other, with Savage employing his poetic gift to balance narration with allowing listeners their own emotional space through intricate instrumentation and lyrics.
Featuring singles like “Elvis in the Army” and “Thanksgiving Prayer”, the album builds on his first solo effort, 2017’s Thawing Dawn.
