#1 DADS

About it

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">Hello, come and join me for my very first Australian shows as #1 Dads in six years. May it be merry and the first of many more. Much love x #1D</p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">TICKETS -<a href="https://musicyourdadsmake.com">&nbsp;HTTPS://MUSICYOURDADSMAKE.COM</a></p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">Tom Iansek is one of today&rsquo;s best singer/songwriters&nbsp;&ndash; Atwood Magazine</p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">A gentle, intimate meditation on life, love and embracing brokenness &ndash; Apple Music&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><strong>The quiet achiever</strong></p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><strong>The record holder</strong></p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><strong>The cult favourite</strong></p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><strong>The #1 Dad</strong><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">#1 Dads is the solo project of Tom Iansek, a valuable, proudly independent fixture of the Australian music scene for over two decades as one half of the multi-award-winning Big Scary and No Mono, and an in-demand producer (Maple Glider, Kate Miller-Heidke, The Paper Kites, Ruby Gill, Lisa Mitchell, and more).&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">Animated by intimate, understated arrangements and lyrical honesty, #1 Dads is a perfect introduction to Iansek&rsquo;s sonic authenticity and rich, rewarding music. His gentle melodies and less-is-more production make for homely yet sophisticated pop songs that have seen the Australian-born, London-based artist become an unassuming cult favourite, beloved with fans and critics alike.&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">Debuting as&nbsp;#1 Dads&nbsp;with 2011&rsquo;s&nbsp;Man of Leisure, Iansek further showcased his sincere, quietly innovative songcraft with 2014&rsquo;s&nbsp;ARIA-nominated&nbsp;About Face&nbsp;and 2020&rsquo;s&nbsp;Golden Repair.&nbsp;Born of a period of dramatic upheaval,&nbsp;Every Little Fire&nbsp;is the Melbourne-bred, London-based artist&rsquo;s most deeply personal record</p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">Every Little Fire, the fourth&nbsp;#1 Dads&nbsp;album, due&nbsp;October 16&nbsp;via&nbsp;Pieater.</p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">PRE-SAVE&nbsp;EVERY LITTLE FIRE&nbsp;HERE.<a href="https://1dads.lnk.to/EveryLittleFire">&nbsp;https://1dads.lnk.to/EveryLittleFire</a></p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">The record arrives six years after 2020's&nbsp;Golden Repair&nbsp;and follows a period of profound personal upheaval - a transatlantic relocation, a growing family, the particular vertigo of dismantling one life and building another from scratch.&nbsp;"It was not an easy thing to do,"&nbsp;Iansek says.&nbsp;"It has been an insane, wonderful, chaotic, intense and joyful period of my life." Every Little Fire, in both title and execution, takes that turbulence seriously.</p><p><br></p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">Produced and mixed by Iansek himself, in small rooms, including a DIY bedroom studio, Every Little Fire reflects the conditions of its making. Imperfections were left in. Longer, unvarnished takes. Tempo fluctuations. Breaths. The result is an album that sounds handmade in the best sense: intimate without being precious, and honest without being confessional for its own sake.</p>
