Australian songsmith Kim Churchill has announced his new two track single Weight_Falls Acoustic Sessions released today, 20th April. Watch the video for Weight_Falls (Acoustic) here.
The single is the companion piece to 2017’s full length Weight_Falls which Churchill spent 18 months working on. Breakout single Second Hand Car came in at #94 on triple j’s Hottest 100 and the album release saw Churchill taking on an immense capital city and regional tour of Australia in 2017.
“After a year of touring Weight_Falls around the world I learnt a lot about myself and the songs. I loved the random busking stunts we pulled off and learnt a whole new way to play Second Hand Car – I wanted to capture it in an acoustic version,”
“The song Weight Falls became this beautiful soft unplugged performance around a single mic to end the show on tour. We wanted to share one of those performances and recorded it at a sold out Bush Hall in London (a magical moment in itself). After so much touring, so many festivals and larger shows, it feels like the perfect moment to strip things back and give the songs and their meaning room to breathe and belong.” – Kim Churchill
What sets Weight_Falls apart from Churchill’s previous releases is its sense of adventure and unpredictability, characterised by chopped-up drum samples, unusual harmonies and moments of disarming lyrical honesty.
