Info for Pillar to Post

Australian troubadour Tim Wheatley, returns with album #2, „Pillar to Post“. „Pillar to Post“ was crafted in three parts whilst Wheatley was straddling the pacific and touring his debut album ‘Cast of Yesterday’. The seeds of ‘Pillar to Post’ were sown in Melbourne with long time counterpart Michael Badger (King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, IV League, Even), and came to fruition in Los Angeles, with producer Justin Stanley (Eric Clapton, Beck, Sheryl Crowe). Later finished up by Wheatley and his band at Boulevard Recording Studios, Hollywood.

„Pillar to Post“ follows Wheatley’s 2015 debut album CAST OF YESTERDAY which received critical-acclaim and Top 10 on the Australian ARIA Country Chart.

"The album is certainly a collection of songs born of harder times than my debut 'Cast of Yesterday.'" Says Tim. "The influence Los Angeles has had on my music came in ways I didn't expect. Rather than painting a sundrenched California, I found myself reaching for home in Australia. I was writing songs about the road when I was at home, and songs about home when I was out on the road. I found myself losing the battle with the tyranny of distance and was having an ongoing arm-wrestle with life's guilty pleasures. The sheer brutality of the 'LA hustle' was very hard to come to grips with – I found the highs were high, and the lows were low, and there was absolutely nothing in between."

After a successful month long tour of Australia playing packed out venues, Tim Wheatley is now heading back to LA to launch his debut solo record in his current hometown on the other side of the world. The Melbourne indie alt folk troubadour’s hard work has paid off, scoring the ultimate recognition from the industry, impressing fans and critics alike with his album, Cast Of Yesterday, with the album charting at number 9 on the weekend’s ARIA country music chart and number 18 on the Australian artists chart.

Thrilled with his impressive chart results, Wheatley says, “To land in the top 10 was astounding. I would never have imagined the response we’ve had to this record.

“It was a hectic month of shows but looking back on it, I had a blast,” beams Wheatley. “The crowds were so receptive and I think doing it solo was such an effective way to re-introduce myself as I got to know so many people that way. It was a great chance to play the record and get a sense of everyone’s favourite songs, which I’ll now take back to the States before returning home for another tour in the summer, I can’t wait to get back!”

Cast of Yesterday was recorded at Sing Sing studios in Melbourne, produced by Paul McKercher (You Am I, Sarah Blasko, Pete Murray) and mixed by Niko Bolas (Neil Young, Johnny Cash) at Capitol Studios in Hollywood. Poetically titled, Cast of Yesterday, the album was written about a range of people from Wheatley’s past – friends, heroes and villains and is a dynamic collection of songs that is sure to surprise and delight. With an alt-folk, indie Australiana and at times country feel, Cast Of Yesterday is packed with memorable melodies and a signature smooth vocal, all the while showcasing Wheatley’s impressive songwriting ability.
