DC Maxwell, the Aotearoa‑raised alternative‑rock firebrand whose debut solo effort Lone Rider won us over in 2023 and earned him a nomination for Best Independent Debut at the 2023 Taite Music Prize, is back to stake their claim to the punk-country drylands. Produced by Bonnie Knight (Amyl & the Sniffers, Angie McMahon), The Singer is threaded with contributions from Maxwell’s Melbourne community: vocals from Hatchie and Georgia Maq, piano from Good Morning’s Stefan Blair, and a fateful guest appearance from American songwriter Will Oldham, aka Bonnie “Prince” Billy (wow). May 22 can't get here fast enough. yeehaw. - Flying Out.
The prodigal son DC Maxwell has returned for 2026. A vociferous performer with a sharp pen, DC Maxwell’s The Singer is a liturgy to the craft itself. Rooted in the thesis of the written word, he offers the living embodiment of song. His contemporary alt-rock sphere is the distillation of poetry, lyricism and the conviction of performance. What is the point of singing and dancing while the world burns? For DC Maxwell, it’s a salve.
