Taking to social media to announce the album, Pyke wrote: Today I’m releasing my live album with the ASO. Last year, we celebrated Feeding the Wolves turning 20, and this night was pure magic.

“So grateful to the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra and incredible conductor Vanessa Scammell for making me feel right at home in front of these insanely talented musicians.

“Huge thanks also to Alex Turley for the additional arrangements and Bob Scott for mixing and mastering.

“These songs were written in my bedroom… and somehow ended up being performed by the ASO. What is my life??

“So happy we captured the magic and I finally get to share it with you. Go listen. tell me what you think.”
