When you were a kid you grew up in a house on a hill – not the top, not the bottom, but the middle of the hill. Wait, that wasn’t you? Our bad. That was chart-trumper Josh Pyke, who released his fourth studio album, The Beginning And The End Of Everything,last month. Since moving to a location more conveniently situated, Pyke has proved he can turn any story into a dangerously infectious folk-infused ditty. His latest release traverses through themes of “desire, death and legacy”, showcasing his ever-advancing lyrical finesse and six-string dexterity. Pyke is scheduled to tour Australia this month, following a string of sold-out shows earlier this year.

We’re giving away a double pass to his show at the Enmore Theatre on Friday August 23 – email [email protected] and tell us your favourite track from the new record.
