In Hearts Wake bid farewell to bassist Kyle Erich, announce his final tour for September

After twelve years of creating music beloved by a loyal fanbase across the world, In Hearts Wake have announced the departure of long-time bassist and vocalist, Kyle Erich.

In conjunction with the news, In Hearts Wake have announced they will tour Australia with Erich for the last time this September and have also delivered a brand new track, fittingly titled Farewell.

Though Erich’s departure signifies a dynamic shift for In Hearts Wake, their split has been amicable; both are anticipating bright futures as they continue on separate paths. Perth fans will get the opportunity to bid their own farewells when the tour lands at Magnet House on Saturday, September 14.

Hailing from Byron Bay, In Hearts Wake first roared into view via their 2012 debut album Divination, which peaked at #27 on the ARIA Charts, setting the stage for a horde of headline shows, international tours and festival appearances.

Now in command of five hard-hitting albums, including 2014’s Earthwalker, 2015’s Skydancer, 2017’s Ark, and 2020’s Kaliyuga, In Hearts Wake have now made multiple Top 5 ARIA debuts, garnered millions of streams, and won fans across the globe.

“Our bass player and clean vocalist, Kyle Erich, is leaving the band to focus on his family and other parts of his life. He will be touring with us one last time in September, and today we have released a new track and video called Farewell as part of his send-off. We adore Kyle and appreciate every contribution he’s made to our band and our lives. Twelve years of laughs, gigs and singalongs. He’s an amazing person, and we will miss having him around as In Hearts Wake continues to forge ahead.”

“While we were saddened and heartbroken by the news at first, we all knew that what was right for Kyle was right for us. We all support his decision and can’t wait to celebrate him and bring closure to his journey with the band.”

“We will have more In Hearts Wake news in a couple of weeks, but for now, let’s celebrate our man Kyle Erich and all the amazing moments we’ve had together.”

In Hearts Wake have announced the departure of bassist and vocalist, Kyle Erich and released their new single Farewell. In Hearts Wake play Magnet House on Saturday, September 14, 2024. Tickets are on sale Friday, April 12 from inheartswake.com
