A song close to his heart, “Far Away” is about the curious existence of a life spent on the road; at times strange, others scintillating, and sometimes solitary too. Finding a moment amid the chaos to reflect on the whirlwind romance of it all, this latest single also reflects on the loved ones you leave behind when you follow your dreams as a touring artist.

As Allman explains:

“This is my song about life on tour. The strange world of hotels, motels, soundchecks, new places, new faces, miles of driving and missing the ones you love the most.”

Laced with lilting acoustic guitars, spacious piano motifs and lullaby-like vocals, “Far Away” is another fine example of Brown’s talent as both a heart-rending raconteur and a maestro of subtle, simmering melodies.

The single will feature on Allman Brown’s eagerly awaited new album ‘Second Son’, which will arrive on 28 June 2024, via the Nettwerk label. It will comprise two halves, including his warmly received 2023 EP ‘Second Son, Pt. 1’, completed by its upcoming second half, plus two new tracks (“1984” and “Sunlight and Cinnamon”).

“I’m a second son, a stranger to most but loved by some. I’ve been afraid since I was young… It takes a lot of pretending to be strong” confesses Brown on  “My Ordinary Life”, the opening track of ‘Second Son’.

Filled with the vivid storytelling and self-effacing songwriting that Allman Brown calls his own, from beginning to end ‘Second Son’ promises to be his most personal and poignant releases to date. Describing the album as “a pocket autobiography”, its songs piece together a deeply personal chapter in his unique musical journey. As he explains of the album’s recurring themes:

“It’s about my life so far and the love I feel for my wife and children and how they are quite simply the reason I’m alive. They are my purpose.”

Experimenting with new sounds and instrumentation on his latest work, the ‘Second Son’ sessions found Allman merging his signature acoustic guitar-driven melodies with modern pop elements such as synths, live bass, electronic pianos, electronic percussion, and live drums. Produced by Peter Katis (The National, Interpol, Gang Of Youths), his latest material was recorded in just ten days, with Katis’ expertise enabling Brown to take the next step in his “quest to take a traditional sound and push it a little into a new space”. The record also sees Allman joined by star pianist Thomas Bartlett  (The Gloaming, Taylor Swift, The National) and vocalist Kori Gardner-Hammel (Mates Of State), who add their distinctive qualities.

Exploring themes of love, loss, self-reflection, and the human experience, his upcoming album ‘Second Son’ invites listeners to embark on a profound emotional journey with Allman, as he presents a profound new collection that embraces vulnerability and authenticity and emerges with some of his finest work.

Allman Brown, born in Hong Kong and now based in London, has consistently wowed listeners with his emotionally charged and introspective music. His 2013 hit single, “Sons & Daughters” (performed with Liz Lawrence), became a Spotify sensation with over 20 million streams worldwide and was featured on popular TV soundtracks. His debut album, ‘1000 Years,’ in 2017, and ‘Darling, It’ll Be Alright’ in 2019, received critical acclaim for their tender balladry and folk-infused pop. New album ‘Second Son’ will arrive in Summer 2024.
