Bret McKenzie is embarking on two new journeys with his new album Songs Without Jokes and an international tour. His song “A Little Tune” debuted earlier this month alongside a music video showing his range as an artist to be able to write outside of comedy.
“Post-Conchords, I’d been working on songs for the Muppets films, and during a session I had the thought that it would be fun someday to work on some songs that weren’t for someone else, that don’t have to tell a story or be funny or continue the narrative plot, checking all the boxes for the character in the movie,” he said in a press release. “I thought it’d be fun to do a record like that, something different,” McKenzie commented.
The tour begins September 2nd in New Zealand before embarking on a global tour. Tickets go on sale on May 20 at 10:00 am local time.
