Pete Murray<\/a> has officially announced his seventh studio album, Longing<\/em>. The follow-up to 2017\u2019s Camacho<\/em> is set for release on Friday, October 3rd via Community Music \u2013 marking his first album released independently since his debut, 2001\u2019s The Game<\/em>. To coincide with the new album\u2019s announcement, the veteran Australian singer-songwriter has shared a new single entitled \u2018Amy\u2019, as well as three full-band shows on the New South Wales coast on the weekend of the album\u2019s release. Details for those, as well as Murray\u2019s remaining solo acoustic tour dates, can be found below.<\/p>\n \u2018Amy\u2019 is the fourth single to be lifted from Longing<\/em>, following the release of \u2018Wouldn\u2019t It Be Good\u2019 last year and both \u2018I Am Fire\u2019 and \u2018Home To Me\u2019 earlier this year. In a press statement, Murray said that the \u2018Amy\u2019 in question was \u201csomeone really special\u201d to him. \u201cI feel [it] has a different flavour to what I have recorded before,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cThe backbeat rhythm on the acoustic guitar is what really makes it different. I don\u2019t normally use a four-on-the-floor beat under any of my songs, but it works with \u2018Amy\u2019. It\u2019s kind of hypnotic with the acoustic, snare and beat working together and when the keys solo hits in the breakdown, it\u2019s the best.\u201d The new single can be streamed below.<\/p>\n Murray recorded Longing<\/em> with Luke Palmer, an engineer and multi-instrumentalist best known for his tenure in the Brisbane alternative metal band Dead Letter Circus<\/a>. Other contributors to the album include The Whitlams<\/a>\u2018 Ian Peres, Canadian songwriter\/producer Garrett Kato and veteran session drummer Aaron Sterling \u2013 whose credits include Taylor Swift<\/a>, John Mayer<\/a> and Keith Urban<\/a>.<\/p>\n The album\u2019s creation came from resurrecting demos from a folder Murray had kept on his computer simply labeled \u201cUnfinished\u201d. \u201cAs the years went by, I kept adding to this folder and I kept slowly working some of my favourites,\u201d he explained. \u201cI would get an old session up, work on it some more, then put it away again \u2013 sometimes for years. After a little while, I had a bunch of songs that really sounded like a great, cohesive body of work.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m all about trying to write an album that people love from start to finish: An album that means something special to someone. You can only make an album like this with time. [Second album, 2003\u2019s] Feeler<\/em> was written over the same period of time, about ten years. I feel there are very similar qualities to Longing<\/em> as there are on Feeler<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n The announcement of Longing<\/em> comes fresh from Murray\u2019s recent inclusion in triple j<\/a>\u2018s Hottest 200 Of Australian Songs<\/a>. Two of Murray\u2019s songs featured in the supplementary list: 2003\u2019s \u2018So Beautiful\u2019 at 193, and 2005\u2019s \u2018Better Days\u2019 at 110. Murray is currently wrapping up his solo acoustic national tour<\/a>, which has marked the biggest of his career. Since May, Murray has played 46 of the tour\u2019s 56 shows.
