Following on from a critically acclaimed back catalogue, Jordie Lane returns to Australia with a full band and his new studio LP Tropical Depression, slated as his first ever record label release and out August 23, 2024 via ABC Music.

Recorded in Nashville, Tennessee, with Grammy-nominated producer, engineer and instrumentalist Jon Estes (Kacey Musgraves, Dolly Parton, Rodney Crowell), the album was mixed by famed engineer Noah Georgeson (The Strokes, Devandra Banhart, Andy Shauf, Marlon Williams) and mastered by Juno Award-winning Philip Shaw Bova (Feist, Father John Misty, Angel Olsen, Bahamas).

Lane marks this new chapter with a sound that consistently defies genres, with his latest wandering somewhere close to the outskirts of Americana and '60s-inspired folk while “creating a pathbreaking and inspiring sound” all of its own. With Irreverent wit and satirical commentary, the songs on Tropical Depression tackle (among other things) Lane’s own experience with severe weather (ignited by a close call with an EF-3 tornado) and its eventual collision with his own mental health battles.

Lane has continued to delight audiences around the world now for over a decade, performing major festivals in the US, UK, Australia, and Canada. He has toured with a wide range of international legends, from Gotye to Billy Bragg, Cat Power to Old Crow Medicine Show, Ruthie Foster to The Moody Blues and several tours with Aussie legends The Waifs.
