Ian Ball will release his second solo album ‘Unfold Yourself’ on November 15 with a tour set to begin three days later in Fremantle. Ball is responsible for some of Gomez’s biggest hits including ‘Get Yourself Arrested’ and ‘In Our Gun’. With ‘Unfold Yourself’, Bell set out to make a sequel to his first solo outing, ‘Who Goes There’. Discussing the album, Ball stated, Although I set out to record a mainly instrumental, electronic record, I couldn’t stop myself from playing acoustic guitar and writing songs over the top. What was originally supposed to be long and sprawling, became concise and accurate. What was meant to be zone out music became some of my most infectious and melodic blast at full volume while driving badly music. To coincide with the album, Bell will also embark on a 10-stop tour throughout Australia covering both regional and metropolitan areas. Ball will be playing tracks from his two solo albums and has promised to play some Gomez classics for good measure. If Gomez’s live shows are anything to go by, this is a gig that should not be missed. ‘Unfold Yourself’ will be released on November 15 with an extra 8 instrumental tracks exclusive to Australia.
