The Teskey Brothers Unveil New Album ‘The Winding Way’

Returning with their first album of new material since 2019’s chart-topping Run Home Slow, Melbourne’s The Teskey Brothers have unveiled their third official long player The Winding Way, released today via Ivy League Records. Recorded in Sydney, following the closure of their longtime Melbourne studio in 2021, with production duties handled by Eric J Dubowsky (Flume, Chet Baker, Chemical Brothers), siblings Josh and Sam Teskey open the record with 'I'm Leaving', an ode to their former studio, permeating the record with soulful, impassioned melodies, and a free-spirited, folk-infused sound, harking back to 1968 on their nostalgia inducing cover of The Zombies' ‘This Will Be Our Year’. Heading to Aotearoa in December on their The Winding Way tour, with high pre-sale demand resulting in the addition of a new second show for Auckland Town Hall — don't miss out and hit play below....

"Our old recording studio was on a street called Winding Way in Melbourne. We moved out of that house in 2021 just before recording this album. When we were trying to come up with a title we realised ‘The Winding Way’ is the perfect metaphor for all the recent changes we’d been through in our lives. Not only moving out of the studio but starting families, experiencing big loss, and growing up in lots of different ways. It was unintentional but the album slowly became all about those ‘growing up’ themes of nostalgia, connection, displacement, and finding a path through the winding way of life. I think we discovered that we’re not kids anymore!" – Josh Teskey

"We recorded in a different city with amazing gear and new collaborators. I was able to step away from the engineering role which was huge for me. It felt fun and exciting in a way that recording music hadn’t for some time and it took the songs in really interesting new directions. Stepping outside the comfort zone of the old studio definitely helped make this one a more mature and ‘classy’ record." – Sam Teskey

UPDATE 5/07/23: Due to hot demand a second Wellington show has been added on The Teskey Brothers The Winding Way tour. Tickets are available now for the new event, plus final tickets have been released for Auckland and the first Wellington show.
