We Never Want to Reach “The End” of Kim Churchill’s Latest EP

Paradoxically, Kim Churchill’s latest EP “The End” will be the start of many big things to come. The six song EP is a folk articulation of Churchill’s itinerant roving, the soundscape of his recent treks. 

Building anticipation the infamous Aussie wanderer has already released two singles from the EP earlier in the year “Nothing Nothing” and “Outta Love”. Each song has been received with warm welcome, “Nothing Nothing” even receiving national radio recognition from Triple J and being performed as a part of Kim’s Like A Version. 

“The End” is the third installment of Kim’s four part EP series, picking up from its origin piece “I Am” (recorded in Berlin, Germany) and second chapter “Forgetting” (recorded on Vancouver Island, Canada). “The End” builds  closer to the series’ finale, recorded a little nearer to Churchill’s stomping ground in the Blue Mountains, Australia. 

"The End is the third instalment from my 4-part EP series and marks a very cathartic moment in its trajectory,” says Kim, “The songs were inspired by a moment of cataclysmic change in my life and for some odd reason I felt really drawn to the sheer cliffs and ridges of the Blue Mountains to bring those heart stopping feelings into reality. We recorded and wrote a lot of the music on the edge of ravines looking down too far away towns and valleys. Then, unexpectedly, it all kind of gently bloomed into existence in this wonderful studio in the rainforest that gave me a beautiful sense of calm and perspective to record within." 

Oh the places “The End” will take you, just like the roads that carry Churchill, this EP is a Voyage to be taken. Stepping out of his comfort zone, you’ll even find Kim performing with a full band behind him in the opening track “The Summer”. Rest assured “The End” stays true to Kim’s beloved established folk sound, with growth and maturing of course.
