The Waifs Announce New Album Release Date + Tour Info

Australian folk-rock band The Waifs have confirmed that will be releasing a new album, out on the 4th March.
‘Temptation’ is the follow-up to 2006's Sun, Dirt, Water, which the band recorded in Nashville and which reached No.2 in the Australian album charts. That album represented a natural progression for The Waifs, one on which they expanded and experimented with their sound.
‘Temptation' sees them stripping back, returning to their roots and
playing an assortment of acoustic and electric instruments, joined once again by the established rhythm section of drummer David Ross Macdonald and bassist Ben Franz.
There's also a re-shaping of songwriting input this time. While the bulk of the material for Sun, Dirt, and Water came from Cunningham, on Temptation the songs are more equally spread. The boys recorded the long player in November last year, at a very un-well looked after house/studio
And now The Waifs are embarking on a massive tour of Australia, kicking off next Tuesday in Moruya Memorial Hall, in Moruya, New South Wales, and closes out on 27th March at the Mangrove Resort Hotel. The Waifs have been on fire recently and you won’t want to miss this. You can look for tickets through Stereoboard.
