Fans have been waiting ages for Australian singer-songwriter Matt Corby to drop his debut full-length and they’ve just received the best early Christmas present they could ask for.

Corby has today announced the details of eagerly anticipated debut album, Telluric, which is set for worldwide release on Friday, 11th March and is available to pre-order now.

“The definition of Telluric is ‘of the earth’, terrestrial. It’s the concept that runs through the record, the idea that through nature and human activity we are all connected,” Corby explains.

To mark the announcement of the record, Corby has released ‘Sooth Lady Wine, the second track to be unveiled from the album and a follow-up to the soulful, inventive, and elegiac ‘Monday’.

Telluric is the product of Corby spending the past few years in home studios around the world, ending up in a cottage in rural NSW where the album was written, recorded, and produced.

“I recorded an album two years ago that I didn’t like,” he explains. “For a lot of reasons I wouldn’t release it. It took me a year and a half to clear my head of everything that happened, accept my failures, reboot and have the balls to do it again.”
