Mistletone brings Parquet Courts frontman Andrew Savage, known in solo territory as A. Savage, to the Australian East Coast.

Supporting his record Several Songs About Fire, out via Rough Trade / Remote Control, A. Savage will be embarking on an Australian tour, covering the East Coast of the country.

Touching down at Howler in Melbourne on Friday 15 November, A. Savage will stop into Castlemaine’s Town Folk Festival on Saturday 16 November to perform alongside The Teskey Brothers and Ngaiire, before taking to Sydney’s Oxford Art Factory on Wednesday 20 November, Brisbane’s Season Three on Friday 22 November and wrapping up in Anglesea to play The Sound Doctor on Saturday 23 November.

The tour supports A. Savage’s 2024 release Several Songs About Fire. Produced by John Parish in Bristol, Several Songs About Fire is bolstered by the support of Jack Cooper (Modern Nature, Ultimate Painting) and Cate Le Bon, as well as members of Kamikaze Palm Tree & caroline. The end result is tantamount to psychic odyssey, containing a singular irreverence which is stitched together by Savage’s outsize gifts as a lyricist and observer, a quality Parish calls “an emotional openness guarded by a laconic wit.”

Savage digs into subjects of wealth and poverty, self and other across Several Songs About Fire, prompting the listener to complete their own emotional journey with the songs. Several Songs About Fire stands as an act of nearly libidinal rebellion against a moment when so much of life is the blue light of screens. This is an album whose topic is no less than the sublime: the moments in which a sensory experience becomes a holiness or possession of its own, and the self floats above it.

Witness the albums transition to the live setting this November. Tickets are on sale now and can be picked up via each individual venue.
