2012 debut album from Australia”s most celebrated contemporary songwriter. For the past ten years, Gareth Liddiard has been the driving creative force behind Australian Music Prize-winning band the Drones and a string of modern classics. Recorded in an isolated mansion 30 minutes outside Yass, in country New South Wales, Strange Tourist captures Liddiard at his most naked and his most explosive. Armed with just a guitar he makes surreal stories of tightrope walkers, down and outers, suicidal Japanese salarymen and suburban radicals come alive like no one else could. Recorded with another graduate of the Australian Music Prize, Burke Reid (the producer behind 2007 winner the Mess Hall”s Devils Elbow and the Drones fourth album Havilah), Strange Tourist is the latest installment from one of Australia”s most talented poets. Listen to it now because you”ll be hearing about it for years to come.
