Tom Cunliffe – new album out today

13 April 2018 - 0 Comments

Kiwi singer-songwriter Tom Cunliffe's exquisitely crafted new album Template For Love is out today.

SPOTIFY / APPLE / ITUNES

Produced by two of New Zealand’s most well-respected talents - Ben Edwards (Marlon Williams, Tami Neilson,Delaney Davidson, Aldous Harding, Nadia Reid) and Dave Khan (Marlon Williams, Tami Neilson), Template For Love reveals the Auckland-based troubadour to be one of Kiwi music’s hidden gems.
 
The 11-track album was recorded in Edwards’ famed Lyttelton recording studio with Cunliffejoined by Khan’s Yarra Benders matesGus Agarsand Ben Woolleyand their friend Dan Luscombe from Melbourne.  
 
It includes the already released singles This Table Is A River and Burning Blood, which set the scene for an album that beams with sharp lyricism and catchy hooks, reminiscent of the classic ‘Kiwi sound’ and yet, planted firmly in today’s indie-rock and pop-folk realm.
 
The video for Burning Blood premiered last week on Under The Radar.

Template For Love is Cunliffe’s second record, and follows his 2016 debut - the folk-based Howl and Whisper, which drew comparisons to the likes of The Waterboys and The Pogues.

“Cunliffe honed his songwriting craft ahead of recording this, and along with some incredible instrumental backing has produced great folk songs that sit upon interesting timbres and textures” - NZ Musician
