The brand new EP from Sydney songsmith Patrick James, “Broken Lines” is set for release on Friday, July 18 in Australia and New Zealand via Create/Control.
“Broken Lines” is the follow up to Patrick’s debut EP “All About To Change” which featured singles ‘All About To Change’ and ‘Brighter Lights’. As well as widespread stellar reviews of the EP, both singles featured in TV drama “Wonderland”. But it was on the live touring circuit where James cut his teeth and started to road test new material. Whether it was touring with Emma Louise, Josh Pyke, Pete Murray or taking to the stage for 29 shows with Boy & Bear, Patrick was developing his sound – from stripped back acoustics to a fully-fledged band experience.
It was from this that the decision was made to follow a similar route with recording. Wayne Connolly (Josh Pyke, Hungry Kids of Hungary) was the man to take on production duties at Alberts’ Sydney studio – a big step up from the James’ home studio where he recorded his first EP. For Patrick, it immediately opened up an entire new thought process for work-shopping the songs. “There was a greater experimental period with songs and parts within them, just purely because there are so many options with production and sound going into a session like that,” recalls James.
Patrick James will be doing a very exclusive EP launch at Brighton Up Bar, Sydney on Tuesday the 8th July, and Tone Deaf have 1 double pass to give away. Enter your details below to win.
