Pete Murray Interview: The Story Behind Amy & Upcoming Album Longing. Join Noise11.com for an in-depth interview with one of Australia’s most beloved singer-songwriters, Pete Murray, as he talks to Paul Cashmere about his brand-new single Amy and upcoming eighth studio album Longing (out October 3).
In this conversation, Pete opens up about the bold new direction in his sound, and how collaborating with Luke Palmer (Boo Seeka, Dead Letter Circus) helped shape the hypnotic textures of the record.
Pete also takes us inside the making of Longing — his first independent album in 20 years — revealing how he built the record from a collection of unfinished songs stored on his computer, and why he feels it shares a deep connection with his breakthrough 2003 classic Feeler.
We talk about his epic 56-date solo tour, what it means to return to playing with a full band, and how he balances crowd favourites like So Beautiful and Better Days with fresh new material.
With honesty and humour, Pete shares insights on independence, the importance of owning your masters, and what continues to drive his passion for songwriting more than two decades on.
