Rising folk & alt-country act Rufous Whistler releases their highly anticipated debut album, National Panic, marking the beginning of an expansive 30+ date Australian tour, with international dates to be announced soon.
"One of Australia’s most compelling new voices in modern folk music". Blending raw storytelling with rich, contemporary arrangements, National Panic explores anxiety, resilience, and movement in uncertain times. Across ten striking tracks, it balances folk traditions with bold, modern energy, cementing Rufous Whistler’s place in Australia’s folk & alt-country scene.
"This record is about feeling unsteady in a shifting world and the things we cling to when everything feels chaotic." – Vinny Russell (singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist)
The album features the acclaimed singles River Gum Tree, Honey, and I Mean It, which have already gained international airplay, AMRAP chart success, and 30,000+ streams. The title track, National Panic, released in February, encapsulates the record’s urgent, anthemic energy.
