Kim Churchill Does The Impossible And Gets Even Dreamier On, ‘Second Hand Car’

Talk about a hard working musician. Kim Churchill is finally back in the eyes and ears of the public after breaking his silence with, ahem, Breakneck Speed, the first taste of the artist’s new album. Now, Churchill is kind enough to drop the gauntlet on the album’s details along with another new single and a behemoth sized Australian tour.

Churchill’s upcoming album, ‘Weight_Falls’ is available 25 August (available for pre-order now) and remains as homely and true to character as he can be. After spending a whopping 18 months on tour behind 2014’s ‘Silence/Win’–the album which essentially broke Churchill to the masses–he’s back and as fierce and raw as ever.

Speaking on ‘Weight_Falls’, Churchill felt pressure to make this new record an ample follow up to his previous:

“I worked really hard on the follow-up record for a long time,” he explains.

“And it sounded good. But some very subtle layer of myconsciousness was saying to me, ‘It’s not all that inspiring.’”

Latest single, to come from the new record, Second Hand Car is an instant Churchill romp–warm and ever so dreamy with that immediately identifiable, propulsive guitar line and rousing chant-a-long chorus. The production has more than certainly amped up with those beefy drums in the back which is going to nuts live on stage. Also, shoutout to that banging harmonica solo.

If you’ve yet to see Kim Churchill live, you’ve really got no excuse now as he’s just announced a truly massive national tour behind his new single. Scope the dates below and stream Second Hand Car.
