Description
Melbourne singer/songwriter Delsinki, the man behind the much-loved KEEP THE CIRCLE UNBROKEN and SING A SONG OF SIXPENCE touring shows, is now busy promoting the release of City / Country, Delsinki’s second album which was once again produced by Cameron McKenzie (Mark Seymour & the Undertow), whose educated ear and fierce commitment to detail takes these latest 10 tracks to new heights, reflecting Delsinki’s last few years, mixing it large with other songwriters and getting to the nitty gritty of a song. Like some sort of city-bound bush poet, Delsinki sings of his environment – from carbon monoxide and asphalt plains to lockdowns and the dream of escape – and he feels the ever present lure of nature.
Delsinki has a crack band, including Justin Brady from Things of Stone and Wood, a top notch rhythm section and vocalists Brooke Taylor and Coby Grant, all of whom share the spotlight on this stunning album. Other guests on the record include Monique Brumby, award-winning bluegrass musician Hamish Davidson, the late Dion Hirini (Viki & Linda Bull), Crowded House bass player Nick Seymour and Melbourne soul superstar Kylie Auldist who Delsinki met when she came on board Keep The Circle Unbroken, alongside Tim Rogers and Mick Thomas.
The City / Country tour will feature a full band and will live up to the album’s title by taking in shows in regional Victoria as well as Melbourne.
