MORE INFO ABOUT THIS ARTIST AND TOUR:

Other Tongues recently announced signing Brisbane based singer/songwriter Scott Spark. Now he's hitting the road, launching his debut album 'Fail Like You Mean It' stopping in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

Scott Spark sings about shift-work, strategies for outsmarting death, the importance of delusions, love, wanderlust at Christmas-time and life’s variety of fuck-ups, while plinking the keys of anything that has them. (Fact: as a misguided teenager he also learned saxophone, until – true story – somebody shot at him to make him stop. Keys were a safer choice!).

‘Fail Like You Mean It’ features some notable Australian musicians, including Megan Washington (Washington), Seja Vogel (Regurgitator), Adele Pickvance (The Go-Betweens), John Parker (Misinterprotato), Heinz Riegler (ex-Not From There), Chris Pickering, and Yeo ChoongYeo).  The songs were mixed by Tucker Martine (The Decemberists, Sufjan Stevens, Laura Veirs, Death Cab For Cutie).
