Adam Newling is slowly but surely traversing the globe as part of his Around The World in 50kms tour.
After quickly selling out his Friday, August 28th show at the Wombarra Bowling Club, Adam Newling has announced a second show at the northern Wollongong venue for Saturday the 29th.
The two shows follow the alt-country gem’s four sold-out Sydney headline shows and a support slot with heavy-hitters Skegss in Brunswick Heads, as well as the release of Newling’s latest alt-country gem, the searing track ‘Two Of A Kind’.
‘Two Of A Kind’ is the third offering we’ve recieved from Adam Newling, a sprawling track that sees the Cronulla songwriter expertly examine the trials and tribulations of a relationship indebted in drug and alcohol abuse.
On ‘Two Of A Kind’ a heavier, more urgent side of Newling is on display. His signature husky growls feel more desperate and crucial than ever. The track copped a triple j premiere with Declan Byrne.
“Two Of A Kind is about me love hate relationship with sobriety spawned by the end of a love hate relationship with a beautiful girl,” explains Newling.
“It’s about boredom and abuse and a fine line drawn between being a partner in crime or being downright destructive. This song was born in a dark place but nowadays it’s just a bitter fun.”
Newling won over our collective hearts with debut single ‘Cheer Up’ back in March, a track that highlighted his propensity for piercing and introspective songwriting. He then followed it up with the simmering and sexy single ‘Morning Breath’ — an effortlessly cool exploration of young drunken sex.
Live music is slowly and surely making its return, baby. What better way to celebrate than over a couple frothy ones at the bowlos, serenaded by a sweet soundtrack of Adam Newling.
