Indie-folk darlings Tinpan Orange are back with new music after a brief two year hiatus. Their new single “Turn It On Again” explores themes of letting go, hope and rebirth. Emily’s ethereal vocals float above subtle stripped back guitar melodies and lush production that captures the band’s romantic songwriting

A few weeks before the world went into Covid 19 lock down, the band went into the studio to record a new EP. “Turn It On Again” is the first of the collection of songs they created in their home studio in the hinterland of NSW Northern Rivers.

Speaking about the new single today Emily Lubitz says, “I originally wrote this song about the power of shutting down in order to come back with vitality and a new focus. It’s my only technique for fixing technological problems made into a metaphor for relationships. The shutting down of the Covid world has given the song an eerie new relevance”.

The track is being released in Germany, Switzerland and Austria through Radicalis Records, and in Scandinavia through Celebration Records - both record companies are running PR campaigns around the release.

Tinpan Orange are one of Australia’s most loved and revered indie -folk bands. Emily’s exquisite vocals with her brother Jesse on guitar, combined with violin virtuoso Alex Burkoy have seen the band release five studio albums and tour globally throughout North America and Europe, and all the significant festivals at home: Laneway, Woodford Folk Festival, Falls Festival, Waverock, Port Fairy, and Melbourne Festival.

Like most musicians in 2020, their touring plans have been put on hold, however, they have performed online at Isol-Aid and Woodford Folk Festival streaming, Lounge Room Sessions over the past few months.
