Today, Perth MC Drapht is thrilled to announce a national SEVEN MIRRORS ALBUM TOUR to kick off in early October and the soon to be released fifth studio album out Friday 19th August, that is currently available for pre-order: http://smarturl.it/SevenMirrors.
Drapht will commence his run of headline shows in Mooloolaba, Queensland on 6th October, before moving on to perform in Brisbane, Sydney, Launceston, Hobart, Melbourne, Bunbury, and ending the tour in Alice Springs, Northern Territory. See below for full dates.
Fifth album Seven Mirrors continues the upward incline of Drapht’s artistic output, showing off even more songwriting flair and linguistic dexterity than ever before, inviting a host of Australian music royalty along for the ride including Hilltop Hoods, Dune Rats and Katie Noonan. And at the apex of this mountain of talent is Drapht himself, directing this cast of virtuoso musicians with a grand vision and fastidious execution. Seven Mirrors weaves colourful narrative and wit with the stern fabric of personal expression and catharsis.
Drapht delves deep and reveals a lot on Seven Mirrors. The album chronicles Drapht’s personal relationships – whether introspective, family, with partners or exes – exploring them through the concept of the Seven Essene Mirrors… the existential premise that our relationships reflect back upon ourselves. Perhaps the height of Drapht’s skill set can be seen in how masterfully subtle this narrative is throughout the album. There’s a concept album to explore if you want to get deep, but Seven Mirrors can also just be a bangin’ set of tunes if that’s what the occasion calls for.
“It was just song topic after song topic, just flying out of me. And now I’ve got 24 songs to cull back to 14 and I’ve never been in this position before, ever, and it’s probably been my most enjoyable record to date” says Drapht on the making of Seven Mirrors.
Tickets for all shows will go on pre-sale from Wednesday 24 August before opening up for general release from Thursday 25 August. Visit www.drapht.com for more details and all pre-sale information.
