Roarin' Town

The Black Sorrows

A weathered, mid-tempo collection of Australian roots rock. Soulful storytelling and dusty Americana recorded after an eight-year studio silence.

It's like catching up with the Black Sorrows at a quiet highway motel after they've been off the map for a decade.

A reflective and weathered journey through memory and roots-rock tradition.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The narrative connection on What Levi Wants where the ghost of past hits feels tangible through the organ swells.
The delicate string arrangement on Restless Heart that elevates the track from a pub ballad to a cinematic moment.
The way the saxophone cuts through the dusty production on Lonesome Road to signal the band's return.
