From the upcoming follow-up EP, "More Tales From the Big Smoke."
Sydney, Australia - June 5, 2026 - Following his acclaimed 2023 release Tales From The Big Smoke, Palumbo returns with a powerful new chapter:
More Tales From the Big Smoke, a follow-up EP capturing the grit, groove & hard-earned perspective of life on & off the road.
Blending Americana, blues, funk & Brit Rock, the new material expands on Palumbo’s signature storytelling—exploring working-class ambition, modern disconnection & the search for meaning in an increasingly transactional world.
“These songs are snapshots of stories that didn’t fit on the first record,” says Palumbo.
“Ironically, they feel more relevant now than when they were written.”
Recorded between London, Ashley Manor Studios (Bath, UK) & the Blue Mountains (NSW), the EP reunites Palumbo with acclaimed producer Simon Willey (Bryan Ferry, Prince).
The result is a rich, dynamic collection balancing vintage warmth with widescreen raw energy.
