The Cat Empire’s Harry James Angus is taking advantage of his band’s hiatus and releasing a solo album.
Little Stories will be released digitally on September 16 and in stores on October 10. It’s been a bit of a labour of love, with Harry spending the last three years penning the tracks.
“These little stories have provided me with hours of entertainment, just me in the lounge
room. Sometimes my long-suffering wife will patiently listen as I stumble through an idea, but usually it’s just me – laughing at my own jokes, lip trembling at my own tragedies, watching the characters come alive – and the whole story just unfurls, eventually, like a patchwork sail,” Harry said.
Harry James Angus will celebrate Little Stories’ release with a tour of the major capitals later this month.
