Contents

Upon release, Murray said "“It’s made up of the best songs that I hadn't quite finished over time, I’d just kept putting them into an unfinished folder until I had enough to make it an album. And I feel it’s a really strong album because it’s ten years’ worth of work, and that’s a life lived. So, for me, it’s very special and I hope you guys enjoy it." [6]

The album will be supported with a 15 date Australian coastal towns Longing Summer Tour in December 2025 and January 2026. [5] [8]

Critical reception

The Rockpit called it "one of his most nourishing releases yet". [5]
