After a year long sabbatical, Josh Pyke will be back on the road in September to celebrate the release of his eagerly awaited third album, Only Sparrows.
With his intimate, solo ‘Fans First’ shows selling out in a matter of days earlier this year, the Only Sparrows tour will provide those who missed out on tickets the opportunity to hear the new material performed in full band mode for the first time.
Featuring the infectiously up-beat first single ‘No One Wants A Lover’, Only Sparrows will be released on August 19. Josh’s most assured record to date, it follows on from his Gold selling ARIA award winning albums Memories & Dust (2007) and Chimney’s Afire (2008).
“From the writing process to the actual recording, I was pushing myself harder than I have in the past, trying to make the record a development, rather than a continuum. I kind of think of it as the first record where I felt confident enough to take some risks.”
Written on the road and in New York, Only Sparrows might be Josh’s most complete record yet. With a host of talented musicians on board to bring something special to his songs and producer Wayne Connolly helming the desk, Josh was given the freedom to take a step back so he could take a step forward, so to speak, and create a cohesive album that pushed him in all the right ways.
Don’t miss your chance to see Josh and band when they fly through your town this September.
