But For All These Shrinking Hearts is rich with total creative freedom – a newfound sense clearly reflected in the record’s spirit.<br /><br />“The Beginning And End Of Everything was very much a record about the end of one phase and the beginning of a new one,” says Josh. “I saw The Beginning... as a bookend to [2007 debut]<br /><br />Memories & Dust. Afterwards I felt like everything was wide open. This album is a product of lots of things, but it’s a major product of having a studio in my backyard. I go down there four days a week, six hours a day, and I don’t feel pressured.” He was, says Pyke, “completely reinvigorated.”<br /><br />But For All These Shrinking Hearts might just be his best record yet. “‘Book Of Revelations’” would be up there with one of my top songs I’ve ever written I think,” he hopes (Pyke also plays drums for the first time on this number). “There’s a defiance to it that’s very me. The touring that I did for the last album was the most successful touring I’ve ever done – I played to 3,500 at a solo show in Melbourne, which was just amazing. I really pushed myself to go in different directions on this record. It’s an exciting time.”<br />For Josh Pyke, the future is wide open. But For All These Shrinking Hearts is another fine listen from one of Australia’s most talented songsmiths.<br /><br />http://www.joshpyke.com<br /><br />CREDITS / SPONSORS <br />The State Library of Queensland<br /><br />Tune in again to BalconyTV //
