Urthboy has just hit the road on his Naive Bravado tour kicking off in Katoomba and Melbourne this weekend, and is heading to a town near you soon! (see tour dates above). After dropping his latest single off his upcoming album, Smokey's Haunt last week accompanied by his first single Naive Bravado both this album and tour are set to be one of Urthboys greatest works and achievements to date. I for one can not wait to unleash the sounds or Smokey's Haunt upon my ears.
Naive Bravado sees Urthboy exhibiting his sharp flows, songwriting talents and nothing short of a catchy hook. With Daniel Merriweather stepping up to take the hook simply takes the track above and beyond. The concept of Naive Bravado looks at the how the idea that "its not false courage if it leads you out of the mess". The track is defiantly a source of inspiration to many. "Naive Bravado is like a lamb with a lion's heart". His lyrics are accompanied by a phat base line, various horns, monstrous drums produced by none other than Count Bounce and Hermitude. Check out the sensational film clip below.
The second single off the album, Knee Length Socks is an ode to being out of place and harmless underaged fun. It looks back on Urthboy's youth and many of his musical influences. Agin this track exhibits Urthboy's story telling and song writing abilities to the fullest. Previously Hermitude and Count Bounce had been exclusive producers of all of Urthboy's material however Smokey's Haunt is the first album where they have co-produced the entire album.
