When you first encounter him, soft-spoken Kim Churchill seems like an archetypal blond, blue-eyed surfer from southern New South Wales. But behind his laid back demeanour and even tone, the 26-year-old singer-songwriter has a secret: heβs an extreme risk-taker.
Churchill spent 18 months working on the follow-up to his breakout LP, 2014βs Silence/Win, and received a stamp of approval from his record label. Album-release plans were drawn up and Churchill began to field offers from festivals and concert promoters around the world. But the new record β polished and accessible β didnβt quite feel right. At the last minute, Churchill decided to throw it out and start again.
βI worked really hard on the follow-up record for a long time,β he explains β βand it sounded good. But some very subtle layer of my consciousness was saying to me, βItβs not all that inspiring.ββ
So Churchill picked up his guitar. He wrote a second version of the album in one frenetic week, then spent two months piecing together the new recordings with ARIA-winning producer Ian Pritchett in a garage in Western Sydney. The resulting LP, Weight_Falls, is a kaleidoscopic collection that is bound to take both fans and critics by surprise.Β More . . .
