ANTHONIE TONNON – LEAVE LOVE OUT OF THIS is at Top 200 Radio Now!!!

I am so excited to get to help bring you the newest release by my old friend, ANTHONIE TONNON!! In a fun showing of competitor/buddy synergy, I’m psyched to get to work alongside my pals at Terrorbird to help promote this masterpiece – my third release from him over this past decade. This guy is an absolute gem, from New Zealand (a nation I’m slowly conquering by way of promoting their indie-pop princes). I’ve loved his music, with its droll sense of humor, impeccable indie-pop sensibility, and deep love for humanity and for concepts like place, land, and home, for almost a decade now, and if you are new to this party I am very excited for you to join in!!

LEAVE LOVE OUT OF THIS

Misra Records

The world is full of singer-songwriters, but few of them forge the kind of paths that Anthonie Tonnon has. His work has developed into a unique blend of music, art and advocacy, and shows that are creative works in themselves. He has used live performance to experiment with new technology and approaches, leading to the immersive shows that have seen him touring planetariums, or taking audiences to distant venues on unloved public railways. His upcoming record, Leave Love Out Of This, has a mixture of synth based tracks and more acoustic sounds.

Though his sound has evolved over time, a constant has been Tonnon’s lyrics. The artist tackles the rise to the top of the television industry in ‘Entertainment’ as deftly as he did for evolution and the future of work in ‘Two Free Hands’, and regulatory failure in ‘Mataura Paper Mill’. Tonnon has been long-listed for esteemed New Zealand songwriter title the APRA Silver Scroll Award three times, making it to the top five for ‘Water Underground’, his excoriation of the mismanagement of fresh water and local democracy in Canterbury.
