Bud Rokesky

Today, Australian alt-country favourite Bud Rokesky has announced that his highly anticipated sophomore album _Dusk_ will be released on Friday 8 April via Rainbow Valley Records / Warner Music Australia. He is joined by special guest Rupert Ballard. The 14 track record is a world-building body of work that serves as an impressive follow up to the acclaimed 2023 debut album _Outsider _which was recorded by Matt Corby & Alex Henriksson.  _“The album is called Dusk because it’s about endings,”_ says Bud Rokesky. _“There are so many endings that happen throughout it”. _The endings in question refer to both relationships and life itself; they refer to the environment, and the lives of the fictional characters that inhabit the record. There are ghosts in this album, both literal and metaphorical; and there are very real accounts of the average, everyday events that make up and, crucially, shake up a life, and the bittersweet personal growth that ensues.  Following the album release Bud has also announced today that he will be hitting the road for a run of shows throughout May. The Dusk Tour will kick off on Friday 1 May at Bootleggers in Sydney, and will continue with shows in Buttai Valley, Melbourne, Cornella, Birregurra, and Brisbane
