What do you get when you pair one of the most consistently amazing solo artists in Australia with one of the most electrifying frontmen in Aussie music? Well, you get the lead single from Dan Sultan’s upcoming EP, which sees him teaming up with Gang Of Youths’ Dave Le’aupepe to deliver the soulful ‘Drover’.
Out next month, Killer Under A Blood Moon sees Dan Sultan teaming up with a number of brilliant Aussie acts, including A.B. Original, Meg Mac, and Camp Cope to deliver some stunning reworks of selected tracks from his 2017 ARIA-nominated album, Killer.
“When Dan Sultan asks, one doesn’t say no,” explained Dave Le’aupepe of their new tune. “He could ask for both my kidneys and I would probably say yes — thankfully, he only wanted to re-record ‘Drover’, so we just did that.”
“Working with Dan is captivating, inspiring and often hilarious, and although it’s easy to be outshone by Sults, you usually wind up feeling better about yourself and your craft than you did when you started.”
Likewise, Dan Sultan explained that the idea behind Killer Under A Blood Moon was give these songs new life, and to have fun in the process. “We were really just hanging out and having a bit of fun together,” explained Dan.
“I’m really proud of Killer and of the writing on the album, and this is another way to show these songs from a different perspective.”
Dan Sultan’s Killer Under A Blood Moon is set to be released on May 18th through Liberation Music, with pre-orders available now. You can also catch Dan on his Killer tour, which sees him trekking all over the country until mid-July.
