One of Australia’s most iconic frontmen – Kav Temperley, of Eskimo Joe, is stepping out on his own – and the result is just as wonderful as you’d expect from one of the country’s most successful musicians.
‘Pollyanna’ is the single, and it’s an eclectic one, with lyrics that tackle the relativity of happiness and trying to maintain a Pollyannaish attitude while things aren’t looking so good. With careful, considered instrumentation and an arrangement that allows deep strings, plucky piano and sparkling guitar to each complement the other, ‘Pollyanna’ is a deeply effecting piece of music.
‘Pollyanna’ precedes the first full length solo album from Kav – it’s entitled All Your Devotion, and it drops on September 28. Produced alongside Pip Norman (Troye Sivan, Jarryd James, Urthboy) and John Castle (Megan Washington, Vance Joy, Bertie Blackman), the album delicately outlines the arc of newfound romance.
To celebrate all this new music Kav is hitting the road in October and November this year on an 11 date national tour, dates below::
