For Brisbane audiences, the wait for a Timothy Carroll headline show has been excruciatingly long. Not one to over-play, Carroll has been quietly biding his time, labouring over new ideas in between episodes of cider and chess, and squirreling away fresh recordings, bit by bit.

Alas, the wait is over – for a headline show at The Old Museum in Brisbane is scheduled for Thursday July 1 to celebrate the release of a new EP from Timothy Carroll.

Recorded onto two-inch tape to capture the deluxe sounds of a golden era in record production, the five-track EP titled The Deepest Dive was helmed by wunderkind producer Matt Redlich in East Brisbane’s Massive Studios. Featuring performances by the gifted band of musicians that have accompanied Carroll since the release of his debut album for bread & circuses in 2009, the collection of songs sees Carroll moving in new directions with layered beds of sound and lush instrumental production supporting his subtle and emotive voice.

The EP launch will sadly be Carroll’s last Australian show for the year as he leaves for the inky blackness of Sweden for 12 months. Though audiences in Stockholm, Paris and Berlin will surely become as enamoured with the folk delights of Timothy Carroll just as his home country has.
