What?

Shape-shifting, uncategorisable, post-colonialist Delsinki is gaining momentum as an artist and a creative force in his own right. His second album City/Country followed 2018’s And There Was Found, No Place For Them.

Debuting at number 3 on the ARIA - Australian Country Music chart, City/Country is produced by Cameron McKenzie and reflects Delsinki's experiences, mixing with other songwriters and getting to the heart of a song. A musical and social bowerbird, Delsinki's stylistic approach contains traces of Tim Winton and John Brack alongside his musical influences, giving him a unique artistic vision of contemporary Australian life.

In the last 18 months he has produced both Keep the Circle Unbroken – paying tribute to the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Americana/Alt-country touchstone song Will The Circle Be Unbroken – and Sing a Song of Sixpence – a new and similarly loved series of 'in the round' shows with singer songwriters chatting and playing.

Both projects have seen Delsinki step out from his role as sideman – for Brooke Taylor in her Poison Spitting Gin Queens and Row Jerry Crow – into a more central producer/creative role.

Like some sort of city-bound bush poet, Delsinki sings of his environment – from carbon monoxide and asphalt plains to lockdowns and the dream of escape – and he feels the ever present lure of nature. He would seek to rewild the city but also sees the evolving urban impact on regional areas.
