Darren Hanlon has released his fifth album Where Did You Come From? – his first full-length LP in almost five years.
The work was conceived in the dusty, remote town of Broken Hill in far western New South Wales, but follows an extensive journey through the US including an artist in residence at Seaview, Washington state and stops in the country’s musical heartland: New Orleans, Nashville and Memphis.
So it’s little surprise there’s a taste of the American south in this album, filled with country music-style confessionals and merry banjo parts. Also present is Hanlon’s signature elegant songwriting and folk music storytelling.
