Newton Faulkner describes the track as being about someone catching you completely off guard, like being pulled into a tractor beam. He got to use all his toys on this one, including his vocoder. While people still think of him as the acoustic wood and strings guy, half his life is spent playing synths and messing with loops.
Gravitational follows the release of Hunting Season featuring Lissie and Los Bitchos, plus the distorted bass-driven Alright, Alright, Alright. Both tracks introduced a new sonic direction built around collaboration, experimentation and refreshed creative energy.
Newton Faulkner will return to Australia in April 2026 for a full headline tour. He calls the country one of his favourite places to perform, describing it as a second home with incredible crowds, connection and energy. He’s ready to bring the new songs, new album and fresh energy to Australian stages.
