(Courtney Barnett) (Fraser A. Gorman)

Fraser A. Gorman has shared details of his upcoming debut album, Slow Gum.

The Torquay-born (Australian Torquay, that is) troubadour is a collaborator of the vaunted Courtney Barnett, and while he employs a similar passion for addictive, simple songs with brilliant lyrics, he verges on country-western instead of indie-rock. The album is set to arrive just in time for summer off the back of a string of highly-rated singles.

Slow Gum is out on 29 June via Milk! Records/House Anxiety/Marathon.

Listen to "Broken Hands" below, and then check out the album's tracklist and Gorman's upcoming UK/EU shows after.

Tracklist:

1. Big Old World
2. My Old Man
3. Book Of Love
4. Shiny Gun

7. Never Gonna Hold You (Like I Do)
8. We're All Alright
