He's also dropped a new single

Melburnian folkster Ben Abraham has recently signed to Inertia Music and off the back of his upcoming debut record, Sirens, has announced a national album tour this March.

Slated in to perform at SXSW this March, Abraham will conquer the US, Canada and the Europe, thanks to his signing with Secretly Canadian, before he returns to home turf and kicks off a tour on 16 March in Perth. He'll stop by Adelaide, Melbourne, two shows in Brisbane and finally Sydney in early April, too.

That's not all from Abraham — today he's also dropped a brand new single from Sirens, titled Speak, one he worked on with Gotye.

"Speak is my favourite song from the album. The story of a writer wrestling with his muse felt like a more mature subject matter than some of the earlier work I had done. It’s also the perfect showcase of Jono and Leigh’s production.

"I asked Wally De Backer (Gotye) to help me record the vocals on this particular song because I knew he would help me find the best way to tell the story through my performance. I’m really proud of the work we all did."
