Josh Pyke October tour, new single, new album Rome
One of Australia’s favourite storytellers, Josh Pyke has shared his affecting new single Don’t Let It Wait, a bittersweet song written to inspire us all to enjoy every moment. This is the fourth single to be shared from Pyke’s impending album Rome, set for release on Friday 28th August,
Rome is Pyke’s long-awaited follow-up to his 2015 LP But For All These Shrinking Hearts and marks the return to his solo career following a two-year break from the stage.
Josh Pyke will be hitting the road to celebrate Rome and will play an intimate run of fans first shows through October. “I was so looking forward to hitting the road before Covid hit and I’m truly chomping at the bit to share these songs with a live audience,” Pyke says. “I’ll be playing solo and find that expressing these songs in that context really resonates. By the time I’m able to play again, it’ll be a celebration of not only these songs but of performance in general. It’ll be a joyful return to the stage and the world in general.”
“The title Rome refers to the expression that ‘all roads lead to Rome.’ We can’t escape ourselves. We can’t avoid what stares us in the face as our personal realities, and if we don’t address these things we risk becoming ruins of ourselves.”
From his first appearance in the Hottest 100 with Middle of the Hill coming in at number 19 in 2005, to the 2017 release of his greatest hits album The Best of Josh Pyke + B Sides and Rarities and now to Rome in 2020, Josh Pyke has been a part of the Australian music landscape for over 15 years. Well-loved for his intricate storytelling, thoughtful folk pop arrangements and finely honed stage chops, Pyke has released six studio albums, all of which have gained prestigious accolades and critical acclaim.
Rome is set for release on Friday 28th August and is available for pre-order in various formats now.
