Biography
Darren Hanlon releases sixth studio album Life Tax on March 4 on his Flippin Yeah Records label. Life Tax is Hanlon’s most pared down and gentle album to date. Though it contains recent live favourites Lapsed Catholic and Freight Train From Kyogle, they sit alongside new narrative folk songs and short fable-like lullabies set to be similarly treasured. Recorded in the lofty space of the Northcote Uniting Church Hall in 2019, Life Tax was shelved for a time so Hanlon could support its release in the traditional sense, with tours planned in 2022. Throughout his career Hanlon has stayed staunchly independent, running his own label Flippin Yeah Records, upon which he releases his own albums and writings, as well as other artists he crosses paths with: Shelley Short, Anthonie Tonnon, David Dondero and Jonathan Richman. He has toured Australia and the world with many of his musical heroes such as Billy Bragg, the Magnetic Fields, Michael Hurley and many others. He is known for his engagement with his audiences having the ability to make a large crowd feel like they’re in a loungeroom amongst friends with his candid and charming storytelling.
