TYNE-JAMES ORGAN Strong suit


Ahead of the release of his debut album Necessary Evil on Friday, May 21, Tyne-James Organ has announced a national tour for June and July, hitting Rosemount Hotel on Saturday, June 5. To celebrate, the 25-year-old singer-songwriter has also released the official video for new single Sunday Suit.

Directed by Simon Morehead and filmed at Anita’s Theatre in Thirroul, NSW, the visual accompaniment for Sunday Suit captures Organ in an exuberant hip-shaking dance sequence spectacular. “Sunday Suit is all about dancing away your troubles,” says Organ. “This is one of my favourites on the record and I’m very excited to play it live!”

Necessary Evil was recorded throughout 2020 with longtime creative partner Chris Collins (Middle Kids, Skegss) at his NSW Hinterland studio, Stokers Siding. The result sees Organ move from triumphant and jubilant at one moment, to introspective and tender at the next. He deals with grief and pain, power and passion – sometimes open and raw with bare bones acoustics, other times with undeniable swagger via chugging guitar riffs that let the music speak for itself.

Alongside Sunday Suit, Necessary Evil features the upbeat rocker Graceful, the follow up to Hold Me Back; and recent single Not Ready for Love which became Organ’s most successful international single to date.

Organ has shared stages with The Lumineers, Jake Bugg, Middle Kids, and Lime Cordiale, and has sold out several national headline tours. He has also played some of Australia’s biggest festivals including Splendour in the Grass, Falls, Party in the Paddock, Yours and Owls and Fairgrounds.

Organ’s Necessary Evil album tour will commence in Adelaide, and continue throughout Perth, Wollongong, Sydney, Byron Bay, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Melbourne, Hobart, Canberra and Newcastle in June and July.
