The View frontman Kyle Falconer has announced plans for a new acoustic album ‘The One I Love The Most’.
The record, which is out on February 7, features acoustic versions of his songs from The View and his solo LPs, inspired by women. It is available to pre-order here.
It also features brand new track, ‘Angelina’, which you can listen to below.
Of the album, Falconer said: “‘The One I Love The Most’ came from an idea I had after getting my own studio in Spain. I thought about all the girls’ names I had written about and thought it would be a great romantic idea to put them all in one place and release the record for Valentine’s Day. I wanted to show the songs as they were without all the production and we captured the first essence of them.
“It’s great to see the different feelings along the album and my ups and downs, from the childlike writing of ‘Claudia’ to the more in depth idea of ‘Kelly’ as I have seen and heard more of the world.”
It features songs from The View’s debut album ‘Hats Off To The Buskers’ right up to their 2023 LP ‘Exorcism Of Youth’.
It was recorded at Falconer’s La Sierra Casa retreat near Alicante in Spain, with the singer-songwriter producing the project himself and performing all vocals and instruments except for contributions from Drew Palmer and Neeve Zahra.
The full tracklisting for ‘The One I Love The Most’ is as follows:
1. ‘Dixie’
2. ‘Rebecca’
3. ‘Gem’
4. ‘Blondie’
5. ‘Lilly Anne’
6. ‘Penny’
7. ‘Laura’
8. ‘Lucy’ featuring PROSE
9. ‘Claudia’
10. ‘Kelly’
11. ‘Madonna’
12. ‘Angelina’
It comes after Falconer and Carl Barât of The Libertines recently held a new “songwriting getaway” course in his La Sierra Casa retreat earlier this year.
The View also recently supported Liam Gallagher on his ‘Definitely Maybe Tour’ earlier this year ahead of Oasis’ reunion.
On AHHCade, PNAU are leaning fully into emotion for their upcoming seventh studio album.
“There’s something deeply connected about music and the path we’ve been on,” PNAU’s Nick Littlemore shares while introducing the new project, which is scheduled to arrive July 31 through Sydney independent label etcetc, under the TMRW Music umbrella.
“We’re creating songs from the heart,” he says. “Even though these tracks are built with electronics and technology, at their core they are emotional expressions. Peter, myself and everyone we worked with wanted to create a feeling of home, whether that’s on the dancefloor or inside the listener’s mind.”
The upcoming record includes the recently unveiled “Tu Corazon (Your Heart)” featuring Mexican rock band The Warning, as well as the energetic new track “Nirvana” with EARTHGANG and sadMONTH, which officially dropped today, May 8.
“Nirvana” pairs PNAU with Atlanta duo EARTHGANG and also marks the first collaboration with sadMONTH, the new creative venture from Littlemore alongside Toronto artist Dom Dias.
Littlemore describes the song as “the beginning of an entirely new chapter. It’s intense, chaotic and taps into a future version of punk electronic music. Expect something restless, rhythmic and completely untamed.”
EARTHGANG added: “With ‘Nirvana,’ we locked into this euphoric and elevated energy together with PNAU and rode that electro wave. Huge love to everyone involved in bringing this track to life and making it hit the way it does.”
Representatives for the group have also hinted that additional unexpected collaborations will be revealed in the near future.
PNAU, made up of longtime friends Littlemore and Peter Mayes, are following up their 2024 release Sambanova. Over the years, the duo have built a career filled with major records and industry recognition. Their global breakthrough came after teaming up with Elton John for the 2012 remix album Good Morning to the Night, which reached No. 1 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart. They later reunited with Elton for the 2021 remix Cold Heart featuring Dua Lipa, creating one of the biggest worldwide hits of the decade.
To celebrate the release of the new album, PNAU will launch the Australian run of their Nirvana Tour 2026 next month. The East Coast regional dates begin June 19 at Gilligan's in Cairns before finishing July 4 at Woodport Hotel in Erina.
