Faulkner’s tour comes in support of his eighth studio album, Octopus. Released last week, the album was more than five years in the making.

Written and produced in his East London Studio, the album finds the multi-award-winning Faulkner experimenting with his sound, incorporating a range of different genres. The album also sees Faulkner swap the acoustic guitar for a distortion-charged Hofner violin bass.

Octopus includes contributions from Lissie, Los Bitchos and The Bloom Twins and was preceded by the singles ‘Alright Alright Alright’, ‘HuntingSeason’ and ‘Gravitational’.

Excited to share his new songs with Australian audiences, along with all his fan favourites, catch Faulkner performing this April.
