Seven time ARIA award winning songwriter and composer David Bridie has enjoyed a distinguished career as one of Australia's most innovative and classy artists.

FIRST CHAPTER (HEARTS ARE HEAVY).. 10. ANTI-CHASE MUSIC 2.. .... .."The album is called Succumb. It's kinda different for me. It was born out of creative searches and fear, and the grouping together of a wonderful bunch of musicians who interpreted my songs with soul and empathy and occasional gusto. It reflects my interests of late – in texture and sound, drums and guitars, rhythm and epic chords, analogue keyboards, groove and Melanesian feels, lyrical concerns of 12 years under the social conservatives, relationships strained and joyous, living in the Pacific, first person and third person concerns...there’s certainly more guitar than normal." - David Bridie .. .... David's band for this album includes stalwart Phil Wales, Chris Scallan, Paul Cartwright and Airi Ingram. .... ...... .. .. ........davidbridie.com.au...... ....|..........liberation.com.au........|..........followthegeography.com........
