Alex Lloyd

Multi-layered harmonies, loops, songs of family and romance, tracks written across the globe: Urban Wilderness is the long-awaited return of one of Australia’s most acclaimed songwriters, Alex Lloyd. Five years on from his last solo effort, 2008’s Good In The Face Of A Stranger, Urban Wilderness is 12 tracks of pure, pop-tinged song craft, the 4x ARIA-winner finally returning home after 5 years living & working abroad in London.





Kept busy penning tracks for documentaries and artists such as Brighton songsmith Passenger, Lloyd made regular visits back home to record and tour 2011’s acclaimed Mad Bastards, a soundtrack composed with Broome’s The Pigram Brothers. The ‘Mad Bastards Trio’ received three APRA nominations in 2011, including Best Original Song Composed for the Screen (Lloyd’s "Won't Look Back"), Best Soundtrack Album and Feature Film Score of the Year, while they also landed an ARIA nod for Best Original Film Soundtrack. “It took about five years to do that project,” Alex says. “The collaboration was a project of the heart. It was just pure enjoyment, and gave me a new lease for music.”

Five years in the making, for fans at home Alex Lloyd’s latest listen is long overdue. “I don't want to jinx this record, but it’s great. I did things I hadn’t really done before – and I’m proud of that.” To coincide with the release of ‘Urban Wilderness’, Alex has announced his first full band tour in five years, starting with the East Coast of Australia with Special Guests, THE YOUNG LIONS
