Dermot Kennedy returns to Melbourne this November on his upcoming international tour, following the release of his new album, The Weight of the Woods.

The Weight of the Woods features tracks including “Honest,” the anthemic lead single “Funeral,” and “Refuge.” Kennedy wrote and recorded much of the album at a studio near his home in rural Ireland with close collaborator Gabe Simon, known for his work with Noah Kahan and Lana Del Rey.

Across its 14 tracks, the album draws inspiration, energy, and strength from Kennedy’s native Ireland.
