"The experience echoes the writing of classic country tropes where sorrow and hope clash in a beautiful duet.”
Following a massive announcement last week, Melbourne favourites Kingswood have today unveiled their latest music video.
Channelling themes of solace, resolve and independence, the nostalgic clip for Burning Holes premieres via The Music and features guitarist Alexander Laska in fine cowboy form.
Burning Holes is taken from the band’s forthcoming studio album Home, announced last week alongside their biggest Australian tour to date (60+ shows throughout next year).
On the new song, Kingswood noted: “Whilst initial inclinations might appear as longingly and melancholy, a subversive celebration of acceptance and contentment begins to resound, tied into the optimistic sounds of the harmonic consideration and emotional tones. The experience echoes the writing of classic country tropes where sorrow and hope clash in a beautiful duet.”
They added that “the creation of the song was incredibly straightforward - set up, play and sing”.

“All live, all in one performance, dedicated and honest,” they said. “We just kept tracking until one of the performances felt reflective of everything we set out to achieve emotionally and what you’re hearing is it.”
Currently on tour throughout the USA and Europe, Kingswood will return home next month for a handful of dates ahead of their epic 2023 run.
”In Europe and America we tour in a sleeper bus, it works over there because city’s are so close,” they said.
“This doesn’t work in Australia unless you’re going rural, town to town. Which is what we are doing. But no sleeper bus like this exists back home so we are building our own just for this tour. This is phase one of the tour, there is a lot more to be announced next year. It will make it the greatest tour ever undertaken in Australia.”
