Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded shortly after relocating to Sydney and completely dissolving his previous backing band, this deeply introspective release acted as a profound creative rebirth for the iconic Australian storyteller. 'Post' utilizes stripped-back, acoustic-driven arrangements to highlight highly observational narratives concerning addiction, urban alienation, and complex romantic relationships. The release established a sophisticated, narrative-driven template that would guide his celebrated solo career for decades.
