Kingswood have shared ‘Burning Holes’, their first new single in two years. The track arrives as the first taste of the group’s upcoming sixth album, Home.
‘Burning Holes’ features an acoustic, Americana style with fingerpicked guitar and heartfelt vocals. In a statement, the group said that the single revolves around themes of “solace, resolve and independence”.
Kingswood – ‘Burning Holes’
“Whilst initial inclinations might appear as longingly and melancholy, a subversive celebration of acceptance and contentment begins to resound, tied into the optimistic sounds of the harmonic consideration and emotional tones,” the band explained. “The experience echoes the writing of classic country tropes where sorrow and hope clash in a beautiful duet.”
The creation of ‘Burning Holes’ was incredibly straightforward, according to the band. “All live, all in one performance, dedicated and honest,” they said. “We just kept tracking until one of the performances felt reflective of everything we set out to achieve emotionally and what you’re hearing is it.”
Kingswood released their third album, Juveniles, in early 2020. The Melbourne band flirted with acoustic-based songwriting on their follow-up release, Reveries, which came out towards the end of 2020. ‘Burning Holes’ will feature on Kingswood’s Home when it’s released in February 2023.
Kingswood have also detailed a 60-date tour of Australia, which kicks off in November and continues until next June. “This is phase one of the tour, there is a lot more to be announced next year,” Kingswood said. “It will make it the greatest tour ever undertaken in Australia.”
