Australian musical wizard Darren Hart, aka Harts, is about to make his 2016 even bigger than it already was with the announcement of his brand new album, Smoke Fire Hope Desire, and a new string of national tour dates.

This year has already seen Harts release two powerhouse singles — ‘Peculiar’ and ‘Power’ — as well as embarking on several local and international tours, hitting up venues around the UK and Europe, as well as Splendour In The Grass.

Smoke Fire Hope Desire, which was recorded in Harts’s home studio in Melbourne, is set to drop 16th September. As always, Harts recorded the entire thing one-man-band style, playing all the instruments and producing the album himself.

To celebrate the release of the new album, Harts will be hitting up some of his favourite venues around the country, playing club shows in Newcastle, Sydney, Geelong, Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Ballarat.
