Xavier Rudd – Dark Shades Of Blue (Vinyl 2LP)

Originally released in 2008, Dark Shades of Blue finds Australian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Xavier Rudd exploring a heavier, darker and more psychedelic sound. Moving beyond the predominantly acoustic approach of his earlier work, the album brings electric guitar and distortion to the forefront while retaining the distinctive rhythms, didgeridoo and atmospheric textures that define Rudd's music.

Featuring standout tracks including "Black Water", "Dark Shades of Blue", "Secrets", "Guku" and "Shiver", the album combines blues, rock, folk and psychedelic influences with Rudd's unmistakable songwriting. Recorded at Studios 301 in Byron Bay and mixed by Joe Barresi, the record captures a powerful and expansive side of Rudd's sound.

Dark Shades of Blue became another major Australian success for Rudd, reaching the Top 10 of the ARIA Albums Chart. Its guitar-driven arrangements and heavier production make it one of the most distinctive releases in his catalogue and an essential listen for fans wanting to explore beyond his better-known acoustic material.

This Vinyl 2LP edition spreads the album's 11 tracks across two records, giving the longer compositions plenty of room while making it a fantastic addition to any Xavier Rudd vinyl collection.

Supplied brand new and sealed, it's a must-have for fans of Australian roots music, blues, folk rock and psychedelic rock.
