Kyle Jenkins, frontman of Suicide Swans, Australian visual artist, musician, singer and songwriter is ready to release his debut solo record Meltdown on October 26th.
After releasing the first single “Wire” on Near Enough Records, Jenkins has truly set off on a solo adventure, delivering his own journey of creating art and the conversation throughout the process of production. The first song is a long rumination on what it is to be creative, to invent things to look at or listen to and to fill your world up with.
Recorded in By The Living Grace studios in Brisbane, Meltdown encompasses Jenkins’ thoughts on the underlying tension inherent in us all- the need to preserve and destroy everything we hold dear.
“Meltdown really didn’t come out of any great need to make a solo album. Rather it was about ruminations of the world that came from staying up late at night seeing all these horrible situations playing out in the world and feeling a deep seeded feeling of isolation, loneliness and sadness for what was happening” Kyle explains. “From there the album happened really organically where one song (and its narrative) documented one situation that then lead to the next and the next and so forth. The album is really about the tension between dusk and dawn – that fine edge of a moment when the day and night are at tension between each other. A feeling I seem to have as a person.”
If you’re no stranger to Kyle’s work, then the aptitude of creating a beautiful body of work is no surprise. Meltdown, is replete with an independent 12 tracks showcasing his impressive artisanship.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
